{"product_id":"rebellion-in-patagonia-osvaldo-bayer-9781849352215","title":"Rebellion in Patagonia","description":"At the very end of \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e, Osvaldo Bayer writes: \"Time always tears down the curtain that tries to hide the truth. A crime can never be covered up forever.\" He demonstrates that principle in this moving and nuanced study of strikes led by the powerful anarcho-syndicalist labor union FORA against the despotic landowners and industrialists of Argentina's Patagonia region in 1921- 1922. The tale ends tragically, with thousands slaughtered, but Bayer's detailed descriptions and first-person testimonies capture the beauty and heroism of the struggle. Banned and publicly burned in the 1970s, this is the book's first English translation--with a new introduction by Scott Nicholas Nappalos and Joshua Neuhouser.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe recovery of a historic struggle of the importance of \u003ci\u003eRebellion in Patagonia \u003c\/i\u003eby Osvaldo Bayer is a decisive contribution to the social struggles of today.
