No bastaba una sola voz, por dolida y sincera que fuese, para dar el sonido, la significacion, la dimension misma de los tragicos dias vividos por... muchos mexicanos en octubre de 1968. Elena Poniatowska se dedico, pues, a oir las multiples voces de los protagonistas -indiferentes, solidarias, quejumbrosas o airadas- y compuso este enorme testimonio colectivo, que, a la manera de un coro plural, da la relacion de los hechos. Desde cualquier punto de vista o posicion que adopte ante lo sucedido en esos dias, el lector sentira que esta obra de algun modo le concierne y lo reclama. Estudiantes, obreros, padres y madres de familia, profesores, empleados, soldados y hombres de Estado, en fin, diversos componentes de la sociedad mexicana, aportan su modo de ver, sentir y considerar los acontecimientos. No se trata de emitir un juicio general, sino de recoger la experiencia misma y su reflejo en la memoria de muchos. Los testimonios fueron fielmente transcritos: las palabras vibran en la pagina con su textura y su tono oral. Este es un libro que sera oido mas que leido. Un libro que no podemos dejar de oir. 11a edicion corregida.

The acclaimed classic in a new edition, now with a new introduction, the author's original foreword and afterword, the one-act play 10 Blocks on the... Camino Real, plus an essay by noted Tennessee Williams scholar, Michael Paller.In this phantasmagorical play, the Camino Real (pronounciation: Cá-mino Réal) is a long highway, a dead end, a police state in a vaguely Latin American country, a nightmare, and an inescapable condition. Characters from history and literature—Don Quixote, Casanova, Camille, Lord Byron—inhabit a place where corruption, starvation, indifference and greed have immobilized anyone who tries to escape. Then, into this netherworld, the archetypal Kilroy arrives—a sailor and all-American guy with "a heart as big as the head of baby." Like others before him in the Camino Real, Kilroy is robbed, conned, turned into a patsy, and he very nearly breaks...but not quite. When this experimental epic opened on Broadway in 1953, it confounded the critics, but not the audiences. The play's iconic/ironic humor, playful conceits, and towering concerns about society's demand for conformity, the courage of the artist, and the power of compassion have made it a classic.

Specifically, while... journalists and observers believe that the contributions significantly influence congressional votes, empirical evidence compiled by political scientists has generally failed to identify a systematic linkage between the two.
