The Shark And The Sardines

The Shark And The Sardines is a political essay written by Juan Jose Arevalo, the former president of Guatemala. The book is a critique of the political and economic situation in Latin America during the mid-twentieth century, and it offers a radical analysis of the region's problems. Arevalo argues that Latin America is dominated by a small group of elites who control the political and economic systems to their own benefit, while the majority of the population is left in poverty and oppression. He compares this situation to a shark and a school of sardines, where the shark represents the ruling elite and the sardines represent the people. Arevalo suggests that the only way to change this situation is through a revolution that would empower the people and create a more just and equitable society. The book is considered a classic of Latin American political thought and has been influential in the region's social and political movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
