Title: Crónicas del entusiasmo
Description: "The sixties were a time of radical changes in Uruguayan society, whose cultural and political expressions reached their highest level of effusiveness, innovation and violent conflict. Living collectively, a time of transformations extended the concept of politics far beyond parties and doctrines; the new forms of social relations engendered cultural changes that fostered unprecedented ways of thinking and acting the practices of art and politics. Chronicles of Enthusiasm deals with the cultural field by reviewing in a cross-sectional way its diverse manifestations and paying particular attention to the role of intellectuals in a situation that demanded definitions beyond the local sphere, on a continental scale and in the Third World" (HKB Translation) --Verso cover.
