The Tricontinental is a quarterly political magazine, founded after the Tricontinental Conference 1966. The magazine is the official publication of the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL), which also published it until the year 2019. The magazine is left-wing focused.[1][2]
History and overview
The Tricontinental was first released in August 1967, and folded propaganda posters were included in individual copies of the magazine; it ceased publication after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, when the Cuban economy experienced rapid economic recession, and the continued publication of the magazine became economically infeasible. The publication also suffered from ink shortages.
Tricontinental began to be printed again in 1995. In 2000, the decision was made to begin to reprint posters. Production of these materials ceased with the OSPAAAL's closure in 2019.
The magazine is distributed around the world, and at its height, 87 countries received Tricontinental, and there were more than 100,000 subscribers, mostly students. At one time, it was very common for posters from issues of Tricontinental to be posted on the walls of student community centres.
