Resumen
[ES] L as décadas de los sesenta y setenta fueron convulsas a nivel internacional, y diversos movimientos sociales surgieron
de la disconformidad con las medidas adoptadas por los líderes de los diferentes Estados. En varios países de
Latinoamérica, estos movimientos desembocaron en la implantación de dictaduras militares que pretendieron
reestablecer el orden y gobernar todas las esferas sociales. La censura y la represión se volvieron constantes, y muchos
ciudadanos se vieron obligados al exilio para escapar de la cárcel, la tortura o la muerte. Ese fue también el destino al
que se vieron abocados aquellos intelectuales de la época que levantaron su pluma para decir lo que estaba prohibido
decir, y para cantar aquello que estaba prohibido cantar. Así, dejaron un testimonio de una parte de la historia que,
de otra forma, difícilmente se hubiera conocido: la de muchos ciudadanos a los que les fue negado el don de la palabra.

Censorship and repression became constant, and many citizens were forced into exile to escape jail, torture, or death. That was also the fate of those intellectuals of the time who raised their pens to say what was forbidden to say, and to sing what was forbidden to sing. By doing so, they left a testimony of a part of history that, otherwise, would have been difficult to know: that of many citizens who were denied the gift of speech.
