Annoucing a New Book! photocredit: geocities Slaughterhouse Chile: The World of Victor Jara. Cambridge, Harvard. Victor Jara: Native American Shaman (Chilean Mapuche) "I couldn’t fall: the bullets slammed into my chest. Everything was in slow motion. There was no pain, no awareness. What was happening? I felt as if in a dream, then I was falling. Only moments prior, I had been joking with six, big guards. Trying to defuse the situation, I had them laughing. Then they fired. Maybe a sweaty finger slipped on a trigger; I don’t know." On Victor Jara was found dumped in a cemetary with forty-four bullets in his chest. ~ Lindblom
Lindblom, E.J. (2007).
White light came toward me. I fell into the light. “What was this? Was I dead?”
