Product Details
- From the winner of the first Lannan Prize for Cultural Freedom, a bitingly funny, kaleidoscopic vision of the First World through the eyes of the Third.Eduardo Galeano, author of the incomparable Memory of Fire Trilogy, combines a novelist's intensity, a poet's lyricism, a journalist's fearlessness, and the strong judgments of an engaged historian. Now his talents are richly displayed in Upside Down, an eloquent, passionate, sometimes hilarious exposé of our first-world privileges and assumptions.In a series of lesson plans and a program of study about our beleaguered planet, Galeano takes the reader on a wild trip through the global looking glass. From a master class in The Impunity of Power to a seminar on The Sacred Car —with tips along the way on How to Resist Useless Vices and a declaration of The Right to Rave —he surveys a world unevenly divided between abundance and deprivation, carnival and torture, power and helplessness. We have accepted a reality we should reject, Galeano teaches us, one where machines are more precious than humans, people are hungry, poverty kills, and children toil from dark to dark.A work of fire and charm, Upside Down makes us see the world anew and even glimpse how it might be set right.Galeano's outrage is tempered by intelligence, an ineradicable sense of humor, and hope. —Los Angeles Times
