Abstract

Realignments of Class Attitudes in the Military and Bourgeoisie in Developing Countries: Egypt, Peru and Cuba GERARD DE GRÉ University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada I AN ANALYSIS of the shifts and variations in class consciousness of the local bourgeois intelligentsia in countries undergoing secondary development requires first a brief reexamination of certain methodological assumptions con- cerning the relation of forms of social consciousness: values, attitudes, ideologies, etc., to material changes in the social structure. Secondary development as defined by R. N. Adams (1969: 3) refers "to the course development must take when it occurs in an area that was formerly a hinterland to the centers of the industrial revolution." It would be an error to expect that the processes of social change and revolution would follow the same sequences and maturation which were characteristic of countries such as Eng- land and France. The error might prove fatal to the development of a revolu- tionary movement if its leadership was not prepared to make an adequate situational diagnosis of the concrete circumstances which differentiate a suc- cessful revolutionary model, e.g. Cuba, from one in which the given level of secondary development calls for quite different strategic considerations, e.g. Bolivia.
