The tumultuous 1960s saw a generation of Latin American youth enter
into political life in unprecedented numbers. Though some have
argued that these young-radical movements were inspired by the
culture and politics of social movements burgeoning in Europe and
the United States, youth activism developed its own distinct form
in Latin America. In this book, Vania Markarian explores how the
Uruguayan student movement of 1968 shaped leftist politics in the
country for decades to come. She considers how students invented
their own new culture of radicalism to achieve revolutionary change
in Uruguay and in Latin America as a whole. By exploring the
intersection of activism, political violence, and youth culture,
Uruguay, 1968 offers new insights about such subjects as the "New
Left" and "Revolutionary Left" that are central to our historical
understanding of the 1960s across the globe.

Dans ce roman decapant, des le premier regard, nous sommes seduits
et intimides par la force poetique du recit. ...on pensait que
lorsqu'un animal mourrait, brusquement, sans raison apparente, cela
signifiait qu'il sauvait la vie de son maitre, ainsi commence le
voyage narratif qui prend votre souffle et maintient l'intrigue
magistralement. La grande reussite de ce roman est de nous plonger
dans la crudite du destin: Il faut que tu te seche avant d'en
pourrir, dit le personnage, en quete de ses racines, de ses morts,
de son soi, bravant la maladie et les absences de l'exil. Un
exorcisme philosophique qui nous secoue.
