Talk:Villa miseria

message: Verbitsky 1957? The name was known before 1952 during Perón's first 2 periods, when he made them invisible by building surrounding high walls. Jclerman 01:19, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I haven't found yet a published reference. First, let me precise my statement to avoid historic confusion. Peron didn't built the walls himself, but they were built during his regime. Since it was an authoritarian regime I assumed he ordered and/or knew about the walls. I saw  printed articles in the mid 50s, but I don't recall the names of the magazines and/or newspapers (some of the rare independent press published then in Bs.As.). One article, in particular, had photographs. I do recall, vividly, having seen them. I mean both the photographs and the wall: it surrounded completely the Villa, with a narrow lateral or back opening not visible from the main road. I saw it several times in a Villa Miseria located, roughly, in the area of La Boca/Riachuelo. In the 50s, students of ciencias exactas and sociologia had programs of extension universitaria. Engineering students taught classes of technical subjects (construction, electricity, plumbing) in order to empower the dwellers (a) to get better paying jobs (than being unemployed and scavenging rubbish dumps) and (b) to build modest dwellings (to replace the cardboard & tin shacks). The sociology students were doing counseling and representing the (largely illiterate) dwellers, and teaching reading/writing skills and, many times, caring for the children.  Needless to say, these activities were neither sponsored by the university nor by the regime. In fact, they were considered subversive by the regime. They were abruptly interrupted in 1954 when the university was attacked and depleted of docents, while 200 students were jailed, some after being abused or tortured. If you are in Bs. As., you should be able to find  collections of magazines and newspapers of the 1950s in some library. I don't have access to such material in Tucson, Arizona, EEUU, where I reside. Instead I'm reviewing like 100 meters of shelving space, in the university library, with books about the period, in order to document my memoirs (ms in progress). --Jclerman 00:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "The Government's statistics agency (INDEC) announced in 2016 that 8.8 million people, 32.2% of the population, were living in poverty. This was a dramatic leap in numbers from the 4.7% people living in poverty just three years before."
The INDEC lacked any credibility at the time when the 4.7% figure was released. In fact, that very same figure is continuously used to illustrate how ridiculous the data published by INDEC had become. There was no 'dramatic' leap in poverty from 2013 to 2016; instead, it was a return to normalcy in the measurement of it. 200.61.165.210 (talk) 20:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
