Preface
Space does not permit my thanking all of the Uruguayans who helped during my 1967 field trip or, in recent years, in sending me reference material. However, I must single out Juan Felipe Yriart, who in January, 1969, ended his tenure as Uruguayan ambassador to the United States to become director for Latin America of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Sr. Yriart’s prompt replies to all inquiries about Uruguayan public life set a standard of service few diplomats in the world can equal.
In Montevideo, Carlos Manini Ríos, first as minister of culture and later as publisher of the daily La Mañana, was especially helpful in directing me to pivotal administrators in government and key sources at the National Library needed in this study. The veteran editor of El Día, now an educator, Hugo Fernández Artucio and his son Hugo, Jr., were walking encyclopedias of recent Uruguayan history.
In the U.S. Embassy in Montevideo, an old friend, Joe Livornese, counselor of the Embassy, and Nicholas McCausland, political officer, efficiently located labor-management statistics that even some Uruguayan economists had previously sought in vain.
Two U.S. scholars graciously encouraged my efforts to update their earlier studies of Uruguay. Professor Russell H. Fitzgibbon of the University of California at Santa Barbara and Professor Philip B. Taylor, Jr., of the University of Houston, in 1954 and 1960, respectively, wrote excellent books on Uruguay that inspired me to watch the public affairs of that nation closely. Professor L. Vincent Padgett of San Diego State College also supplied valuable reference material. Any errors in analysis are, of course, my own. |
