{"product_id":"9781849352222","title":"Rebellion in Patagonia","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the very end of \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e, Osvaldo Bayer writes: “Time always tears down the curtain that tries to hide the truth. A crime can never be covered up forever.” He demonstrates that principle in this moving and nuanced study of strikes led by the powerful anarcho-syndicalist labor union FORA against the despotic landowners and industrialists of Argentina’s Patagonia region in 1921– 1922. The tale ends tragically, with thousands slaughtered, but Bayer’s detailed descriptions and first-person testimonies capture the beauty and heroism of the struggle. Banned and publicly burned in the 1970s, this is the book’s first English translation—with a new introduction by Scott Nicholas Nappalos and Joshua Neuhouser. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe recovery of a historic struggle of the importance of \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia \u003c\/i\u003eby Osvaldo Bayer is a decisive contribution to the social struggles of today.

Disappeared people and hidden bodies were the norm even fifty years earlier, when the Argentine army’s murder of 1,500 agricultural workers was ordered by democratically elected, pseudo-progressive President Yrigoyen. The scandal was silenced until Osvaldo Bayer, journalist and historian, wrote this courageous investigative work (which also led to a 1974 whistleblowing film) in the middle of another of Argentina’s most repressive eras.” —Frank Mintz, translator of the French edition, \u003ci\u003eLa Patagonie rebelle 1921–1922: Chronique d’une révolte des ouvriers agricoles en Argentine \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOsvaldo Bayer\u003c\/b\u003e is an author, journalist, and scriptwriter who was exiled from Argentina during the years of military dictatorship.
