Publisher Description The walls of an architecture in ruins, scored, scarified, discoloured by saltpeter, in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Cuba, Mexico, bear the wounds of time and the traces of political struggles... The stones of the ancient civilizations were torn up and divested of their colouring to construct the modernist utopia, but neither urban ghosts nor the spectre of revolution have saved Latin America from the abyss of violence. The Mexican Revolution, the very first of the twentieth century, would dwindle down into the dictablanda of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional. A few decades later, the hopes of the Cuban revolution would come to wrack in disillusion. In other parts of the hemisphere, attempts at consolidating democracy were dragged down by authoritarian regimes and civil war. An informal economy has been sustained by the drug trade that also finances guerrilla movements and penetrates the very workings of government. These photographs, many of them scratched, scarified, incised, inhabited by the lacerations of an entire region, trace the lineaments of a tortured landscape. SELLING POINTS: .
