Is in this context that the studies, discoveries and analysis developed by Andrés Soliz Rada in his different works, that follow the tradition of names such as Montenegro, Almaraz, Zavaleta and Quiroga Santa Cruz, and his political and existential commitment allows us to recover the tradition of National Left, Latin American Socialism and emancipatory thoughtthat influences the contemporary political processes in the development of patriotic consciousness and the nationalization of hydrocarbons.
