Víctor Jara (reventando los silencios) (Spanish Edition)

"Víctor Jara (reventando los silencios) (Spanish Edition)" is a poignant exploration of the life and tragic death of Chilean folk singer and social justice activist Víctor Jara. Published on December 18, 2019, this book delves into the dark days following the coup led by General Pinochet, which was supported by the US. Jara was brutally tortured and killed in a sports stadium that had been converted into a makeshift prison, merely for his songs that voiced the hopes and struggles of the common people. His death is a stark emblem of the broader issues of criminal justice reform and racial justice. This book serves as a vital reminder to adult learners about the power of artistic expression in advocating for societal change and the dire consequences when voices like Jara's are silenced. Engaging with Jara's story urges readers to reflect on how far societies have come and the long road still ahead in the fight for justice and equity.
