Remembering Eduardo Galeano, Champion of Social Justice & Chronicler of Latin America’s Open Veins
- One of Latin America’s most acclaimed writers, Eduardo Galeano, died on Monday at age 74 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The Uruguayan novelist and journalist made headlines when Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez gave President Obama a copy of his classic work, “The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.“ Since its publication in 1971, “Open Veins“ has sold more than a million copies worldwide, despite being banned by the military governments in Chile, Argentina and his native country of Uruguay. While in exile after the Uruguayan military junta seized power in a 1973 coup, Galeano began work on his classic trilogy “Memory of Fire,“ which rewrites five centuries of North and South American history. He also authored “Soccer in Sun and Shadow,“ “Upside Down,“ “The Book of Embraces,“ “We Say No,“ “Voices of Time,“ “Mirrors,“ “Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History,“ among others. Galeano received numerous international prizes, including the Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, the Casa de las Américas Prize, and the First Distinguished Citizen of the region by the countries of Mercosur. We look back on Galeano’s life and hear from his Democracy Now! interviews in 2009 and 2013.
