The dignity of the nobodies

Solanas, Fernando E. (Added Author). Dickinson, Marcos. (Added Author). Silveira, Sara. (Added Author). Grignaschi, Martin. (Added Author).

Summary: Documents how members of the Argentinean working class who have been marginalized by the nation's economic woes have taken matters into their own hands -- and succeeded. Among the people profiled are workers at a factory in Patagonia who lost their jobs when the plant was shut down; the workers were able to gain control of the factory and have once again made it an economically viable business. Elsewhere, farmers threatened with losing their land due to bank foreclosures have found a novel way to disrupt bankruptcy auctions -- by gathering friends and relatives to sing the national anthem repeatedly until the sales are called off.
