DAYS AND
NIGHTS
OF LOVE AND WAR
by
Eduardo Galeano
translated by Judith Brister
New
Foreword by Sandra Cisneros
“Days and Nights is a
testimony to the power of fear to silence a population. It is also a testimony
to the courage of those who refuse to be silenced . . . Days and Nights
succeeds not only because of its socio-political authenticity and lyrical style
but because of its interweaving of anger and tenderness, elation and
sorrow.” — THE NATION
Days and Nights of Love and War is the
personal testimony of one of Latin America’s foremost contemporary
political writers. In this fascinating journal and eloquent history, Eduardo
Galeano movingly records the lives of struggles of the Latin American people,
under two decades of unimaginable violence and extreme repression. Alternating
between reportage, personal vignettes, interviews, travelogues, and folklore,
and richly conveyed with anger, sadness, irony, and occasional humor, Galeano
pays loving tribute to the courage and determination of those who continued to
believe in, and fight for, a more human existence.
Originally published in Cuba, Days and Nights of
Love and War won the Casa de las Américas prize (1978).
The Lannan Foundation awarded the 1999 Cultural
Prize for Freedom to Eduardo Galeano, in recognition of those “whose
extraordinary and courageous work celebrates the human right to freedom of
imagination, inquiry and expression.”
