Repression, Exile, and Democracy, translated from the Spanish, is
the first work to examine the impact of dictatorship on Uruguyan
culture. Some of Uruguay's best-known poets, writers of fiction,
playwrights, literary critics and social scientists participate in
this multidisciplinary study, analyzing how varying cultural
expressions have been affected by conditions of censorship, exile
and insilio (internal exile), torture, and death.
The first section provides a context for the volume, with its
analyses of the historical, political, and social aspects of the
Uruguayan experience. The following chapters explore various
aspects of cultural production, including personal experiences of
exile and imprisonment, popular music, censorship, literary
criticism, return from exile, and the role that culture plays in
redemocratization.
This book's appeal extends well beyond the study of Uruguay to
scholars and students of the history and culture of other Latin
American nations, as well as to fields of comparative literature
and politics in general.Contributors. Hugo Achugar, Alvarro
