Rebellion In Patagonia

More about the book

Adapted into an internationally acclaimed feature film in 1974, Osvaldo Bayer's popular and well regarded history Patagonia Rebelde was banned and publicly burned in Argentina during the 1970s. It is a gripping tale of struggle, strength, and tragedy. A nuanced study of strikes led by the powerful anarcho-syndicalist labour union FORA against the despotic landowners and industrialists of Argentina's Patagonia region in 1921-1922, it has come to be regarded as the definitive history of its subject. The first English translation brings the story to English speaking audiences.
