Eduardo Galeano was in the US in May of 2013 to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and to promote his book, Los híjos de los días. The English edition, Children of the Days: A Calendar of Human History, was published by Nation Books. Mr. Galeano spoke about and read from the book, followed by a conversation with Marie Arana.

We’re resisting Trump’s authoritarian pressure.
As the Trump administration moves a mile-a-minute to implement right-wing policies and sow confusion, reliable news is an absolute must.
Truthout is working diligently to combat the fear and chaos that pervades the political moment. We’re requesting your support at this moment because we need it – your monthly gift allows us to publish uncensored, nonprofit news that speaks with clarity and truth in a moment when confusion and misinformation are rampant. As well, we’re looking with hope at the material action community activists are taking. We’re uplifting mutual aid projects, the life-sustaining work of immigrant and labor organizers, and other shows of solidarity that resist the authoritarian pressure of the Trump administration.
As we work to dispel the atmosphere of political despair, we ask that you contribute to our journalism. Over 80 percent of Truthout’s funding comes from small individual donations from our community of readers, and over a third of our total budget is supported by recurring monthly donors.
You can help by giving today. Whether you can make a small monthly donation or a larger gift, Truthout only works with your support.
