Atthe very end of Rebellion in Patagonia, 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 Argentinas Patagonia region in 1921 1922. The tale ends tragically, with thousands slaughtered, but Bayers detailed descriptions and first-person testimonies capture the beauty and heroism of the struggle. Banned and publicly burned in the 1970s, this is the books first English translationwith a new introduction by Scott Nicholas Nappalos and Joshua Neuhouser.Praise for Rebellion in PatagoniaThe recovery of a historic struggle of the importance of Rebellion in Patagonia by Osvaldo Bayer is a decisive contribution to the social struggles of today. It offers not just a reconstruction of the past, but an example of what we, ordinary people, can do, and what we will continue to do, for our collective dignity. Ral Zibechi, author of Territories in Resistance: A Cartography of Latin American Social MovementsGenocide against the militant left in Argentina did not begin in 1975 with Isabel Pern or the military dictatorship of 19761983. Disappeared people and hidden bodies were the norm even fifty years earlier, when the Argentine armys murder of 1,500 agricultural workers was ordered by democratically elected, pseudo-progressive President Yrigoyen. The scandal was silenced until Osvaldo Bayer, journalist and historian, wrote this courageous investigative work (which also led to a 1974 whistleblowing film) in the middle of another of Argentinas most repressive eras. Frank Mintz, translator of the French edition, La Patagonie rebelle 19211922: Chronique dune rvolte des ouvriers agricoles en ArgentineOsvaldo Bayer is an author, journalist, and scriptwriter who was exiled from Argentina during the years of military dictatorship.
