Realidades y visiones del exilio uruguayo en España

Abstract

The article focuses on a particular type of migration motivated by political exile; specifically the exile sufferance by an important portion of the Uruguayan population in the mid­1970s to Spain. Two distinct but complementary perspectives are developed: a bibliographical study and a study of the presence of exiles in different geographical and representational spaces. This involves an in-depth study of the testimonies of exiles (both those that remained and those that returned), and an analysis of the documentation of different archives and political and trade union organizations.
