摘要：The work of Eduardo Galeano has had a huge impact in Latin America as well as elsewhere. It most impressive book, The Open Veins of Latin America, published in 1971 the first time, has enjoyed over fifty editions in Spanish already, plus other editions in several other languages. This work whit memories of fire, represent a coherent wholw and they ought to be read together. Other writings have followed ever since such as the Book of Embraces and books on the environment, women, football, neo-liberalism and so forth. In these publications Galeano presents us with a powerful, altohough highly poetic, prose that exposes the barbarities committed against our continent in over 500 years. For Galeano, America Latina is being made, has been made and it will be continued to be made by the unavoidable struggles of the oppressed. His message is, therefore, on of praise and encouragement of resitance, both passive and active, against the horrors inflict upon so many by so few. The need to maintain and perpetuate such na unjust system is required by the mechanisms of accumulation the “system” has designed, perfect and made ever more brutal with every cycle of capitalist accumulation humanity has been forced to go through. This system has robbed of our own being in the process and Galeano, with his simple but powerful writings, has undertaken to recover the sources of our identity-to-be.
