Autocracy
In the name of free enterprise, freeways, and the freedom to buy, city air has been made unbreathable. The car is not the only guilty party, but it is the one that attacks city dwellers most directly.

The Blue Tiger and the Promised Land
Football in Sun and Shadow
This is a book which searches out the mystical, the bewitched, the romance and the emotional destitution of football. It incorporates stories and events such as the suicide of Abdon Porte, who shot himself in the centre circle of the Nacional Stadium; the rise of Bobby Charlton, spared from the Munich disaster to achieve glory on the world stage; the Argentinian manager who wouldn't feed his team chicken because it would bring bad luck; and the R…

The Corruption of Memory
Just like the Mexican buildings that collapsed in the earthquake, Latin American democracy has been robbed of its foundations. Only justice could have provided the solid underpinnings; but instead of justice, we have obligatory amnesia

Open Veins of Latin America
Seven years have gone by since Open Veins of Latin America was first published. This book was written to have a talk with people. A non-specialized writer wanted to tell a non-specialized public about certain facts that official history, history as told by conquerors, hides or lies about.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this artic…
Open Veins of Latin America
The following text is the introduction to Eduardo Galeano's Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, published by MR Press in August. In announcing publication we stated that "the author's magnificent achievement in this brilliant text is to have written a history of Latin America since Columbus—but a history which is at the same time a political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, an…
Brazil and Uruguay
Juan Perez used to work in a machine shop. He worked there for fifteen years, then the shop closed down. For more than a year now, Juan Perez gets up at five o'clock every morning to be one of the first in the lines of despairing people who, with newspaper under arm, are looking for work. Juan Perez has filled out five hundred job applications. He has found nothing. It is a common situation: in Uruguay many, many people are caught up in it—120,00…
Las venas abiertas de América Latina
Nacio en Montevideo, en 1940. Alli se inicio en el oficio periodistico publicando dibujos y cronicas en el semanario El Sol. Entre 1959 y 1963 fue jefe de redaccion del semanario Marcha y director del diario Epoca entre 1964 y 1966. Desde principios de 1973, durante los anos de la dictadura militar uruguaya, estuvo exiliado en laArgentina –donde fundo y dirigio la revista Crisis– y en la costa catalana de Espana. A principios de 1985 regreso a Mo…
Latin America and the Theory of Imperialism
While Lenin was writing his fundamental work on imperialism in the spring of 1916, the imperialist powers were locked in a bloody conflict for control of the world. This century of ours is passing with the speed of several millennia. In the second imperialist war to redivide the world, it was possible, thanks to the progress that had been made in killing our fellowmen on the earth and in the sky, to reap an even more awesome harvest—the survivors…
The De-Nationalization of Brazilian Industry
The old woman bent over and waved her hand to fan the fire. With her hunched back and flabby neck ringed with wrinkles she looked like an ancient black tortoise. But that poor ragged dress certainly did not protect her like a shell, and in fact she was so slow only on account of her years. Behind her, also crooked, her hovel of wood and tin cans; and beyond, other similar hovels in the same suburb of Sao Paulo; in front of her, in a charcoal-colo…
The New Frontiers
A year ago, in a Baltimore living room, several North American students questioned me closely about the conditions of life in the Brazilian Amazon; Manaus, a city I did not know, seemed to be El Dorado for them. The greatest jungle of the world, cut in half by the mightiest river in the world and watered by its thousand tributaries is, in fact, the theme of a new "American dream": the new Far West that the United States has decided to give to its…
The Communist Schism on the Outskirts of the World
The end of February, the beginning of March. I open the daily newspapers and read that the Chinese attack Khrushchev. In reply, a friendly Nikita reaffirms his solidarity with China and Cuba against "the sharks of North American imperialism." Red Flag attacks again: "Atomic arms cannot change the laws that determine the development of mankind."This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published i…
The Alliance for Progress—Notes for an Obituary
How well I remember the excitement at Punta del Este two years ago, when the Alliance for Progress was born! In an atmosphere clamorous with speeches, statements, and promises, with the comings and goings of ministers surrounded by secretaries, ambassadors, and a beehive of newspapermen, how well I remember the grinning faces and the eager hands extended toward the mirage of dollars which floated in the air like the heavy scent of pines.... Of al…
