Eduardo Galeano

I choose to talk about the journalist and writer, Eduardo Galeano. He was born in Uruguay, in 1940. The journalist is considerate as one of  the best writer to Latinoamerica. During his years of career, Galeano to write a lot books and texts about the latinoamerican identity, the indigenous peoples and spanish invation in the continent.

His publication are recognized in the different parts of the world. Books like "Las venas abiertas de America Latina", "Días y noches de amor y de guerra" and "El libro de los abrazos" are some his works.

I like this writer because with his words and expression related magnificently the stories about the indigenous people; the happiness and horror living for their. Also, I like for his critical vision about the conquest process in Latinoamerican continent, and because he takes politics position like
historian.

I like so much this sentence, because describe very good the process of human identity:

"After all, we are what we do to change what we are. Identity is not a museum piece, 'quietecita' in the showcase, but the always amazing synthesis of the contradictions of each day"

 Eduardo Galeano.
