Summary

Since its U。S。 debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America。 It is also an outstanding political economy, a social & cultural narrative of the highest quality, & perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx。 Rather than chronology, geography or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation。 Thus he's concerned with gold & silver, cacao & cotton, rubber & coffee, fruit, hides & wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates & tin。 These are the veins which he traces thru the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande & throughout the Caribbean, & all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the USA & Europe。 Weaving fact & imagery into a rich tapestry, he fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered & suffering people。 An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes。 All readers interested in great historical, economic, political & social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, & an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably。

Para comprender America Latina

Leisurecan

Complete waste of its extensive research and facts。 This victim mentality is not going to solve the problems of Latin America。 Despite the author’s biased and Marxist conclusion, I do agree with him that contemporary wealth explosion in the western world also means exploitation of developing countries/poor people。 Just not much solution other than repetitive complaints。 The first chapter is worth reading and you can skip the rest。

Too much detail。 Very impressive and depressing。 Fortunately I had the audible version。 The spanish and portuguese would have been unsurmountable。Good introduction to Latin America。

I learned a lot but not a book I found easy to read。 It took me a while to finish it but I can see why it is viewed as a classic。

This book is dense - lots of facts and figures and it's hard to imagine one man compiling the vast quantities of information about trades, deficits and exploitation that Galeano does。 However, this book points to one glaring conclusion: over time, Latin America has been, for lack of a better word, raped。 The story goes throughout the centuries and Galeano details the extent of it from the Spanish to the British to the United States。 If you're interested in aspects of colonialism, neo-colonialism This book is dense - lots of facts and figures and it's hard to imagine one man compiling the vast quantities of information about trades, deficits and exploitation that Galeano does。 However, this book points to one glaring conclusion: over time, Latin America has been, for lack of a better word, raped。 The story goes throughout the centuries and Galeano details the extent of it from the Spanish to the British to the United States。 If you're interested in aspects of colonialism, neo-colonialism, imperialism and would like cold, hard details about the bleeding dry of Latin American soil, minerals, raw materials, human labor and the poverty intentionally enforced upon millions, Open Veins of Latin America is a book that will satiate your interest。 I would love to see the updated figures, as the book was published in the 1970s and in my estimation, it's near impossible these one-way 'free trade' relationships between the US and Latin America have come to a halt。 。。。more

“Os latino-americanos somos pobres porque é rico o solo em que pisamos; os lugares privilegiados pela natureza foram amaldiçoados pela história”。 Assim resume Galeano, nas últimas páginas da obra, a história da América Latina: esta, que é uma história de dominação, roubo, violência, fogo e sangue。 Sua sina foi ter nascido uma terra de riquezas e a perpetuação de seu destino se deu pela somatória de classes dominantes colonialistas, monopolistas, oligárquicas, possuidoras de tudo e que, nunca con “Os latino-americanos somos pobres porque é rico o solo em que pisamos; os lugares privilegiados pela natureza foram amaldiçoados pela história”。 Assim resume Galeano, nas últimas páginas da obra, a história da América Latina: esta, que é uma história de dominação, roubo, violência, fogo e sangue。 Sua sina foi ter nascido uma terra de riquezas e a perpetuação de seu destino se deu pela somatória de classes dominantes colonialistas, monopolistas, oligárquicas, possuidoras de tudo e que, nunca contentes, a qualquer sinal de reivindicação e resistência dos de baixo, descia violentamente seu chicote sobre as costas dos povos oprimidos。 Entre ciclos de ouro ou prata, café ou açúcar, petróleo ou metais ou componentes radioativos, até finalmente as transações monetárias e bancárias, a América Latina segue seu caminho de abertura ao “livre comércio” - que, bem da verdade, oferece apenas a liberdade de não livrar suas exportações de compradores estrangeiros ou suas importações de severos embargos - de mercados internacionais, atendo-se sempre ao mais baixo nível possível de desenvolvimento industrial e agropecuário que não sanam jamais as necessidades de seu próprio povo, fazendo-o sempre com produtos importados de manufatura, tecnologia ou o que seja。 O colonialismo e, em seguida, o imperialismo, não limitou suas garras à produção: de cada gota de petróleo a cada sala de universidade, a dominação gringa se faz presente e assume protagonismo, determinando os rumos de todo centímetro quadrado de terra, indústria ou conhecimento latino-americano。 Quando se ousou fugir disso, o resultado foi um banho de sangue e fome - vide a Guerra do Paraguai, financiada pela Inglaterra para, por um lado, abrir mercados; por outro, atar a corda do endividamento ao pescoço dos países que empenharam o que foi uma das maiores vergonhas da Pátria Grande。 Não é possível resumir em poucas palavras a trajetória de brutal exploração que recaiu sobre a América Latina a partir da chegada do primeiro navio cruzando o Atlântico。 Resta reconhecer a infeliz atualidade (o que é desolador, visto que tem mais de 50 anos de idade) desta obra fundamental, diga-se de passagem, de Galeano。 O título que leva expressa perfeitamente a situação em que nos encontramos: um continente que, desde seu “achamento”, teve suas veias e corpo e órgãos e saberes e cultura e mentes abertos, extirpados e monetizados。 Continente que, até os dias de hoje, sangra pelas feridas que o colonialismo abriu e o imperialismo tratou de não deixar cicatrizar。 Esta é uma obra que aparenta tom pessimista, mas que para além do triste reconhecimento da história incorpora um desesperado grito pela unidade e luta por autonomia e soberania latina: “Não será a desgraça um produto da história, feita pelos homens e que pelos homens, portanto, pode [e, acrescento, deve] ser desfeita?” 。。。more

beautiful book; last section (contemporary structure of plunder) is super 。。 disorganized, imo。

Reginaldo De

Uma visão histórica social, política, econômica e cultural da América Latina, que, apesar do (ou principalmente pelo) olhar ideológico do Galeano, traz enorme aprendizado sobre como chegamos até aqui。 Vale muito a pena, é uma visão crua e direta sobre nossa região。

Luis

Debería ser material de lectura obligatoria en colegios。

Chromacoder

Aunque es un libro muy interesante, creo que llega a ser demasiado largo。 No lo he acabado, lo dejé a 100 páginas del final porque se hacía muy tedioso。 Creo que un hilo conductor más fino y breve hubiera ayudado mucho, pero de todos modos merece la pena totalmente leer para aquellos interesados en poner en contexto los movimientos revolucionarios y el sentir de los pueblos oprimidos de Latinoamérica。

Greneth Calderón

Un recorrido por nuestra historia de una manera cruda y sincera。 Galeano logra con este libro dar respuestas a esas preguntas por las que él escribía y dejan de zumbar en la cabeza muchas moscas que nos perturban el sueño。

And interesting and important perspective on the history of Latin America, it would be interested to hear and analysis from after the Iron Curtain fell, but none the less the heartbreaking and difficult stories of the exploration of Latin America

Eduardo Galeano es un gran escritor y todos lo sabemos pero con este libro se superó, la manera que encontró para redactar tantos datos históricos, económicos y políticos, y la investigación que hay detrás es realmente increíble。 Me sorprendieron las cifras de aquel entonces (qué diría ahora? 😱)Mi triste conclusión: la historia se repite。

David Hockabout

Why is Latin America still so underdeveloped? What effect did the Spanish discovery? Eduardo Galean0 tells the long bloody history of of this beleaguered area form Mexico across the Caribbean and to Tierra-Del-Fuego in the south。 It the story of greed, destruction of the Indigenous peoples, and ecological devastation of the flora and fauna。 It answers the why of the constant trouble at our southern border。 The best book I have read on Latin America。。

Isabel Allende ve Gabriel García Márquez'in bazı kitaplarını okuyunca büyülü gerçeklik akımının doğduğu toprakları, kültürü merak ettiğim için not almış ve okumaya karar vermiştim bu kitabı。 "Latin Amerika'nın Kesik Damarları" merak ettiklerimi kısmen verdi。"Ruhlar Evi" ile ilgili aldığım notları okuyunca romanda geçen olayları biraz eksik değerlendirdiğimi fark ettim。 Galeano zihnimdeki bazı boşlukları doldurdu。Kitabı okurken Latin Amerikalı yazarların güçlü yaratıcılıklarında, atalarına, çeşit Isabel Allende ve Gabriel García Márquez'in bazı kitaplarını okuyunca büyülü gerçeklik akımının doğduğu toprakları, kültürü merak ettiğim için not almış ve okumaya karar vermiştim bu kitabı。 "Latin Amerika'nın Kesik Damarları" merak ettiklerimi kısmen verdi。"Ruhlar Evi" ile ilgili aldığım notları okuyunca romanda geçen olayları biraz eksik değerlendirdiğimi fark ettim。 Galeano zihnimdeki bazı boşlukları doldurdu。Kitabı okurken Latin Amerikalı yazarların güçlü yaratıcılıklarında, atalarına, çeşitli uygarlıklarla çok daha önce tanışmış diğer toplumlardan çok daha yakın olmalarının etkisi var mıdır diye düşündüm。 Zaman zaman olduğu gibi, yine uygarlıkla ilgili çelişkili duygular yaşadım。Galeano gelişmiş ülkelerin az gelişmiş ya da gelişmekte olan ülkeleri nasıl sömürdüğünü o kadar güzel anlatıyor ki çok sınırlı olan ekonomi bilgime rağmen ben bile anladım。 Ona göre, özetle, “az gelişmiş” ya da “gelişmekte olan ülke” ifadeleri birer kandırmacadan ibaret。 Az gelişmişlik, gelişmede bir aşama değil bazı ülkelerin gelişmelerinin bir sonucu sadece。Latin Amerika'nınkiyle birlikte gümüşün, altının, kalayın, kauçuğun, petrolün, şekerin, pirincin, kakaonun, kahvenin, pamuğun, muzun, hikâyelerini de okuyorsunuz bu kitapla。Tek ürün üretimine bağımlılık yüzünden yaşanan kıtlıkları, proteinsizlik ve vitaminsizlikten ölen insanları o kadar dokunaklı cümlelerle anlatıyor ki yazar insanın isyan edesi geliyor。 Yerlilerin "avlanması" gibi tabirler insanı öfkelendiriyor。 "Latin Amerika'nın Kesik Damarları" keskin diliyle damardan giriyor anlayacağınız。 Adını ilk duyduğumda roman zannetmiştim aslında ben bu kitabı。 Çarpıcı ve sade anlatımı ile edebi havası da var deneme türündeki bu eserin。 ABD tarihini de bu yazardan okumayı tercih ederim doğrusu。Hep duyardım da Muz Cumhuriyeti ne demekmiş tam olarak bilmezdim。 Öğrendim kitap sayesinde。Bugün Ermeni, Yahudi soykırımı gibi dinsel ve etnik temelli soykırımlardan bahsedilirken Amerika'nın keşfiyle bunlardan katbekat daha vahşice yapılmış kırımlar çoktan unutulmuş görünüyor。 Katledilen Afrikalı, Güney Amerikalı yerlileri kim ne kadar hatırlıyor?Ülkelerin ekonomik faaliyetlerinin ekosistemi nasıl etkilediğini çok basit örneklerle görüyor insan kitabı okuyunca。 İklim sözleşmelerini merak ediyor。 Bugün hangi ülke nasıl, ne kadar, ne sözü veriyor acaba?Zaman ilerledikçe yöntemler biraz değişmiş olabilir ama sömürü çarkının temel olarak bugün de ve başka coğrafyalarda da benzer şekilde döndüğünü anlamak çok zor değil Türkiye gündemine bakınca。 Daha dün Türkiye’deki bir maden işletmecisinin yaptığı küstah konuşmayı okudum gazetelerden。 Kitapta adı geçen işbirlikçi diktatörler de ne çok şey hatırlattı bana。Yapılan ilavelerle en son 1978'de güncellenen kitabın içeriği hâlâ geçerli bana göre。Ayrıca, en azından bir süreliğine youtube'dan temel ekonomi derslerini takip etmek için motive etti kitap beni。 Konuya ilgi duyan herkese tavsiye ederim "Latin Amerika'nın Kesik Damarları"nı。Okunacaklar:Yüzbaşı ve Kadınlar Taburu, Mario Vargas LlosaTarçın Kokulu Kız, Jorge AmadoBu Dünyanın Krallığı, Alejo CarpentierKıraç, Graciliano RamosAteş Anıları Üçlemesi (1-Yaratılış,2-Yüzler ve Maskeler, 3-Rüzgarın Yüzyılı), Eduardo GaleanoZapata ve Meksika Devrimi, John Womack Jr。İklimin Efendileri, Tim FlanneryPolitik Yazılar, E。 Che GuevaraSeyredilecekler:Çorak YaşamlarLa Historia Oficial (Resmi Tarih) 。。。more
