No Peace Without a Fight

The article describes the prevalence of brutality and mass marginalization in Argentina. More than half of the country's population live in poverty and twenty-seven children die of hunger each day. To stay alive, Argentines have to go to the streets and fight--for food, for shelter and other basic needs. Several jobless Argentines organized themselves into militant neighborhood-based unions. Several families squat on abandoned lands where they face consistent brutal evictions. The desperate quest by millions of Argentines to stay alive is viewed by the government as a threat to the country's economic recovery and must be stopped.
