内容简介

'He has more first-hand knowledge of Latin America than anybody else I can think of, and uses it to tell the world of the dreams and disillusions, the hopes and failures of its people... Galeano denounces exploitation with uncompromising ferocity, yet this book is almost poetic in its description of solidarity and human capacity for survival in the midst of the worst kind of despoliation' -Isabel Allende

'This book is a monument in our Latin American history. It allows us to learn history, and we have to build on this history'

-Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela

'I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Galeano's vision is unswerving, surgical and yet immensely generous and humane... Eduardo Galeano ought to be a household name'

-Arundhati Roy

A superbly written, excellently translated, and powerfully persuasive exposé which all students of Latin American and U.S. history must read. - Choice

Well written and passionately stated, this is an intellectually honest and valuable study. - Library Journal

A dazzling barrage of words and ideas. - History


Eduardo Galeano is the author of Open Veins of Latin America, Memory of Fire Trilogy, Book of Embraces and the forthcoming Upside Down

    There is nothing more orderly than cemetry and any human activity can constitute a crime. 拉丁美洲从被西方国家登足的那一刻就因为她的富饶而被诅咒了,她的血液从土地的表面和矿脉、人们无休止的劳动和贫穷中抽取。所有人的敌人是贪婪的资本主义和独裁政权,为单纯的服务和供给制造一片又一片的静默,营养不足的人民制造着他们不能享有的棒球、肉品和作物。在挣扎中,只陷入了债务的死循环。人民被视作了敌人、人类活动被视为反叛,在为国内和国外的统治者无尽的劳动中,在超长的劳动时间里,在政治审查和自我寒噤中,生死劬劳地合上双眼。这不是历史,而是在循环往复地发生在每一片土地上的温驯的人类的故事。2022-06-22

    这本作为历史书来讲不是那么优秀,一大部分原因是由于情绪表达,以至于整本书的论调都是宣泄式的。但可贵之处也在于此—它不是由西方人带有殖民视角写成的。2020-08-12
