Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Based on hundreds of interviews, a survey of exprisoners, and published testimonials, Uruguay Nunca Ms documents the atrocities that were committed during the military dictatorship in Uruguay from 1973 to 1985. The organization Servicio Paz y JusticiaUruguay (SERPAJ) traces the various stages that Uruguay's military government passed through in its twelve years in power, noting the progressive distortion of the legislative judicial and executive branches. Detailing the means by which civil liberties were abrogated by the repressive regime, this report examines how the Doctrine of National Security affected daily life in a country that had been hailed as 'the Switzerland of America.' Unlike the bloody, highly publicized events in Chile and Argentina, the hushed repression in Uruguay was carried out with unprecedented sophistication. Describing some twenty forms of torture, disappearances, and other mechanisms of repression, Uruguay Nunca Ms documents how the population at large was subjected to abuse, terror, and lies, amid economic depression and social upheaval. This disturbing report by SERPAJ cites as its purpose the words of George Santayana: 'Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat it.' It should serve as a cautionary lesson for citizens in any democracy. From the Publisher A graphic and horrifying report of human rights violations by the military dictatorship in Uruguay from 1973 to 1985 From the Inside Flap 'It was against this backdrop [of plebiscite elections] that SERPAJ issued its Uruguay Nunca Ms report during the first week of March 1989. The report further focused the discussion; now people could have a sense of the actual scale of what was being talked about. And in fact the report itself was a long way toward accomplishing what the entire referendum campaign had been about, win or lose. It inscribed in the national memory the facts of what had gone before; it defied and prevented willful obliviousness; it honored the past; it heard the scream, and it responded.... ''Ignorance about those who have disappeared,' wrote the great Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert, 'undermines the reality of the world.' A democracy requires many things: open elections, a robust press, freedom of speech and religion and association, the rule of law, a vibrant political culture. But above all it needs to be real, in Herbert's sense. It has to be solid. The publication of Uruguay Nunca Ms was a crucial contribution to the solidity of the world.'
