Tricontinental began to be printed again in 1995. In 2000, the decision was made to begin to reprint posters.
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.
