"If there is a paradise in this world..." Essays on the History of Uruguay
29.99 €
This book introduces the Russian reader for the first time to the history of Uruguay, one of the most noteworthy countries in Latin America. Russian diplomats who worked in Uruguay in the 1950s and 1960s often said: "If there is a paradise in the world, it is definitely Uruguay!" This phrase is a free translation of the popular Uruguayan proverb "Como en Uruguay no hay!" Political and military battles, the intricacies of great power diplomacy during the creation of this country; the insidious plans of the British Empire, which made Uruguay the Latin American "apple of discord"; the problems of dismembering vast territories and artificially creating nations; bold social and economic experiments that earned it the title of "Latin American Switzerland"; neoliberal reforms of the late 20th century under the auspices of the IMF and "modernization" according to the American model; outstanding politicians and thinkers (J.J. Artigas, J. Batlle y Ordonez, J.E. Rodó, E. Galeano and others), as well as cultural figures who made up the glory and pride of the country, all this arouses great interest in the topic of the study. The author expresses his sincere gratitude to the head of the Center for Latin American Studies, Doctor of Historical Sciences E.A. Larin, as well as to the management of the Institute of World History of the Russian Academy of Sciences for their help and assistance in preparing this work. The book is intended for historians, political scientists, teachers, students and all Russians interested in the history of Latin America.
