Publisher Description Paraguay had the oldest one-party regime on earth. Under the 60-year dictatorship of General Alfredo Stroessners Colorado party, wealth and power became concentrated in the hands of a small few; until elections in 2008 broke the partys hold on the country and promised a newer, more egalitarian future, particularly for the countrys indigenous people. In The Priest of Paraguay Hugh OShaughnessy tells the story of how Fernando Lugo, a bishop from a deprived diocese, swept to victory and what this means for his country, Latin America and the wider world. He traces Lugos life alongside the turbulent history of Paraguay - from his early years in a family which fell victim to Stroessner to his release by the Vatican in order to follow a political calling to the outcry following revelations of illegitimate children. The book also examines what may lie in store for the newest addition to Latin Americas pink tide of socialist and social democratic countries. This is history of a fascinating but largely unknown country by one of the most respected commentators on Latin America. Author Biography Hugh OShaughnessy has been writing and broadcasting about Latin America for over forty years. In this time he has worked for the Financial Times, the Economist, The New Statesman, the Observer and the BBC, among others. He has won two British Press Awards and the Wilberforce Medallion from the city of Hull. He has also been recognised by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in the United States. His books include Grenada: Revolution, Invasion and Aftermath and Pinochet: The Politics of Torture.
