Excerpt: Alicia Kozameh (born on March 20, 1953, in Rosario, Argentina) is an Argentine author. Alicia Kozameh studied Philosophy and Literature at the University of Rosario from 1973 to 1975, and at the University of Buenos Aires from 1985 to 1987. Her studies were interrupted from September 1975 until December 1978 while she was detained as a political prisoner during Argentina's most recent military dictatorship. After her release, she continued to suffer constant repression and persecution, and was forced to go into exile in 1980, first in California, and later in Mexico. During her exile, she published works in Mexico and California and wrote her first novel, El séptimo sueño (The Seventh Dream), an unpublished manuscript about prison. She returned to Argentina in 1984, after the Falklands War and the return of democratic elections to her country. In 1987, the Editorial Contrapunto, in Buenos Aires, published her second novel, Pasos bajo el agua (Steps Under Water), a fictionalized account of her experiences as a political prisoner and an exile. Many other articles and stories were published in newspapers and cultural magazines in Buenos Aires during that period, as well as reviews of Pasos bajo el agua, which sold out in six months. In Buenos Aires, she completed a screenplay based on her novel Steps Under Water. The English translation of Pasos bajo el agua (Steps Under Water) was published by University of California Press in 1996.

Extrait : Le « Processus de réorganisation nationale » (« Proceso de Reorganización Nacional ») est le nom officiellement donné à soi-même par la dictature militaire argentine de 1976 à 1983, qui imitait ainsi le Proceso de reconstrucción nacional de la dictature uruguayenne. Celle-ci a fait près de 30 000 « disparus » (desaparecidos), 15 000 fusillés, 9 000 prisonniers politiques, et 1 500 000 exilés pour 30 millions d'habitants , ainsi que 500 bébés kidnappés aux parents desaparecidos et élevés par des familles proches du pouvoir . Trois ans après la fin de la dictature de la Révolution argentine (1966-73), la junte militaire prit le pouvoir dans un contexte tendu d'affrontements entre les péronistes de gauche et de droite, qui culmina dans le massacre d'Ezeiza le jour du retour du général Juan Perón, en exil depuis vingt ans en Espagne franquiste. Après le renversement le 24 mars 1976 par un coup d'État du gouvernement d'Isabel Perón, le général Videla dirigea la junte, formée d'un représentant de la Marine, d'un autre de l'Armée de terre et d'un de l'aviation.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Ernesto Guevara (né le 14 juin 1928 à Rosario de Santa Fe, Argentine, et exécuté le 9 octobre 1967 à La Higuera, Bolivie), plus connu sous le nom de Che Guevara ou Le Che (prononcé communément en français et en espagnol), est un révolutionnaire marxiste et homme politique d'Amérique latine, dirigeant de la guérilla internationaliste cubaine. Alors qu'il est jeune étudiant en médecine, Guevara voyage à travers l'Amérique latine, ce qui le met en contact direct avec la pauvreté dans laquelle vit une grande partie de la population. Son expérience et ses observations l'amènent à la conclusion que les inégalités socioéconomiques ne peuvent être abolies que par la révolution. Il décide alors d'intensifier son étude du marxisme et de voyager au Guatemala afin d'apprendre des réformes entreprises par le président Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, renversé quelques mois plus tard par un coup d'État appuyé par la CIA (Opération PBSUCCESS). Peu après, Guevara rejoint le mouvement du 26 juillet, un groupe révolutionnaire dirigé par Fidel Castro. Après plus de deux ans de guérilla durant laquelle Guevara devient commandant, ce groupe prend le pouvoir à Cuba en renversant le dictateur Fulgencio Batista en 1959. Dans les mois qui suivent, Guevara est désigné procureur d'un tribunal révolutionnaire qui exécute plus d'une centaine de policiers et militaires du régime précédent jugés coupables de crimes de guerre, puis il crée des camps de « travail et de rééducation ». Il occupe ensuite plusieurs pos...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

April 2004) war ein argentinischer Alttestamentler und Befreiungstheologe. Croatto wurde als achtes von zehn Kindern einer nach Argentinien eingewanderten Familie von italienischen Landwirten geboren. Sein streng katholischer Vater sah für drei seiner Söhne, darunter auch José Severino, die Priesterlaufbahn vor. Von 1948 bis 1953 studierte er katholische Theologie am Seminar der Vinzentiner in Escobar (Gran Buenos Aires). 1954 erlangte er einen B.A. in Theologie an der Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA); 1957 einen M.A. in Bibelwissenschaft am Päpstlichen Bibelinstitut in Rom.

Kapitel: Adolfo Maria Pérez Esquivel, Eduardo Catalano, Mario Roberto Álvarez, César Pelli, Johannes Kronfuß, Alberto Prebisch, Francisco Bollini, Gustavo Nielsen. Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: César Pelli (born October 12, 1926 in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) is an Argentine architect known for designing some of the world's tallest buildings and other major urban landmarks. His designs are known for their curved facades and metallic elements. In 1991, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) listed Pelli among the ten most influential living American architects. His many awards include the 1995 AIA Gold Medal which recognizes a body of work of lasting influence on the theory and practice of architecture. Perhaps his most famous work are the Petronas Twin Towers, which were for a time the world's tallest buildings. He also designed the World Financial Center complex in downtown Manhattan, which surround the now-fallen World Trade Center. After studying architecture at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Pelli completed his studies at the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He started his career in the New Haven offices of architect Eero Saarinen. He emigrated to the United States in 1952 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1964. He married Diana Balmori, a renowned landscape and urban designer. They had two children: Denis, a neurobiologist and Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University and Rafael, also a renowned architect. Pelli served as dean of the School of Architecture at Yale University from 1977 to 1984. His firm employs about 100 architects, designers, and support staff in New Haven, Connecticut. Pelli wrote a book, "Observations for Young Architects." In 2007, Duke University commissioned him to plan a 20- to 50-year revitalization of its Central Campus.

Product Description
Let Freedom Ring presents a two-decade sweep of essays, analyses, histories, interviews, resolutions, People-s Tribunal verdicts, and poems by and about the scores of U.S. political prisoners and the campaigns to safeguard their rights and secure their freedom. In addition to an extensive section on the campaign to free death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, represented here are the radical movements that have most challenged the U.S. empire from within: Black Panthers and other Black liberation fighters, Puerto Rican independentistas, Indigenous sovereignty activists, white anti-imperialists, environmental and animal rights militants, Arab and Muslim activists, Iraq war resisters, and others. Contributors in and out of prison detail the repressive methods--from long-term isolation to sensory deprivation to politically inspired parole denial--used to attack these freedom fighters, some still caged after 30+ years. This invaluable resource guide offers inspiring stories of the creative, and sometimes winning, strategies to bring them home. ... Read more

Bad.
It is four weeks later, and I still do not have this product. I ended up having to go out and buy the book from somewhere else because I needed it for a class. Now, if I ever ACTUALLY get the book I will have two. I have always had good experience with Amazon but this was by far the worst.

A must-have book
The Sixties presented social movements with some of recent history's most spectacular schisms, many of which continue to be debated. Assimilation versus revolutionary nationalism versus cultural nationalism; and Old Left aesthetics versus New Left rejection of convention were among them. But none so clearly defined the troubles of that period like the verbal and other skirmishes over militancy.

Pacifism, the use of political violence and the peculiar merging of the two that came to be called self-defense were prominent fixtures of the Vietnam War era. The integrationist sit-ins contrasted with the incendiary solidarity acts of groups like the Weather Underground, which were at times motivated by those same sit-ins as well as the fiery deeds and iconography of the Black Power movement, which itself clashed at points with the mainstream civil rights movement in how each saw the way forward.

Though it isn't about those debates, Let Freedom Ring: A Collection of Documents from the Movements to Free U.S. Political Prisoners cannot be divorced from such either.

The massive tome, spanning over 800 pages, endeavors to tell the story of political organizing primarily from the aforementioned period, along with the narratives of individuals incarcerated for activities in alliance with same. The definition of 'political prisoner' is most assuredly to be contentious, for in this reading, such encompasses individuals who have taken up political violence as a means to an end. Such a designation, to hear groups like Amnesty International tell it, obscures non-Western activists' tribulations and the spirit of political resistance. Or does it? Meyer makes a persuasive case for consideration.

Let Freedom Ring brings together scores of previously released documents, featuring former combatants from a constellation of North American organizations including the Black Liberation Army, Weather Underground and more. Many of these writings would have otherwise been lost, and the service Meyer does in capturing a critical though largely unknown call to free those imprisoned for actions associated with political demands in the United States is bold.

Few areas in the realm of such trends are left unaddressed. Race, history, public policy and revolutionary arts are among the themes writers cut into. Meyer should also be applauded for avoiding old-school divisions around political orientation; Earth Liberation Front sabotage, for example, is discussed with the same level of seriousness Puerto Rican liberation campaigns are, and each is presented as part of a larger vision for freedom. Gender and sexism are also plumbed, though more might have been offered. Consider books like Personal Politics: The Roots of Women's Liberation in the Civil Rights Movement & the New Left by Sara M. Evans to supplement some of Let Freedom Ring's offerings.

Key business for those interested in the ideas of Let Freedom Ring is how political prisoner movements cross paths with aspirations for criminal justice reform. Jails and poverty impact economically disadvantaged people and communities of color in fathomless ways. Yet, for the commitment former Black Panther Party members and others went to prison in hopes of seeing such disparities end, little progress has been made in linking their hopes and those of people caught up in the prison-industrial complex. Meyer serves to give hope such a connection is possible, and Let Freedom Ring is a great start for organizers seeking not only context but inspiration. ... Read more
