Galeano commits, without regrets, the violation of the borders that separate the literary genres .
THE OPEN VEINS OF LATIN AMERICA.
INTRODUCTION.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION CHILDREN IN THE CENTER OF THE STORM.
The international division of labor is that some countries specialize in winning and others in losing. Our region of the world, which today we call Latin America, was precocious: it specialized in losing since the ancient times in which Renaissance Europeans pounced across the sea and sank their teeth into their throat. The centuries passed and Latin America perfected its functions. This is no longer the wonderland where reality defeated the fable and the imagination was humiliated by the trophies of the conquest, the gold deposits and the mountains of silver. But the region continues working as a maid.
