description In the second half of the fifties, Uruguay was heading towardsa major economic and social crisis. The relative prosperity and stability thatUruguayans had thrived on in the first half of the century was vanishing. It iswithin that context, in 1968 more specifically, that the massive youth protest which will be our main focus here occurred. The term Commitment becamethe watchword for many of these youngsters, and The Revolution part andparcel to their life choices. What signs did they see or believe to see in theworld around them that could have led them to these convictions? In mysearch for an answer, I have interviewed 45 former militants of thosedays. Their rebellion was not aimed at their parents, victims like themselves of the "oppressing bourgeoisie"; these youngsters felt they were immersed ina planetary movement towards a fairer, more equitable world, and that riskingtheir lives to make that dream possible was well worth it. In this first advanceon our research, we shall focus on the local and worldwide contexts whichwere – or seemed to be – at the root of the revolutionary convictions of theyouth. Still pending is an exploration of the ways in which the afore-mentioned contexts and convictions interrelate with the life stories of theseyoungsters.
