«Patas arriba: La escuela del mundo al revés» is the essay by Eduardo H. Galeano, published by Siglo XXI de España in 2008, in paperback, within the Galeano Bolsillo collection (456 pages, in Spanish).
Galeano ironically denounces the contradictions of the contemporary world: inequality, racism, sexism, violence and impunity are examined in brief vignettes combining historical data, political reflection and an almost poetic style. The book portrays a reality that seems turned upside down and culminates in an invitation to the reader to imagine what the world would be like the right way up.
It belongs to the Galeano Bolsillo collection of Siglo XXI de España; the full title of the original is «Patas arriba: La escuela del mundo al revés».
Suitable reading for those seeking critical essays and social chronicle with acid humor, and for followers of Eduardo Galeano's work.
Eduardo Germán María Hughes Galeano was a Uruguayan journalist, writer and novelist considered, among other things, "a literary giant of the Latin American left" and "global soccer's pre-eminent man of letters".
