Che Sensation

Image of Che Sensation

£14.95

His image has been appropriated for political, economic, and even spiritual purposes. He is the symbol of communist destiny, and yet also beloved by anticommunist rebels; his face is used to sell beer and skis, yet an English church group recently issued posters of Jesus Christ himself recast as Che. The affluent youth of Europe and North America have resurrected Che as an easy emblem of meaningless and unthreatening rebellion, a queer blending of educated violence and disheveled nobility, like Gandhi with a gun or John Lennon singing 'Give Peace a Chance'.
