Gregory (languages and linguistics, U. of New South Wales, Australia) considers the half-century that began with the election of the National Party--the first change of ruling party in 90 years--and the victory of the Frente Amplio government--the first by a center-left party since the South American country gained independence from Spain. His main argument is that during the 1960s, Uruguayan intellectuals helped a fragmented left unify and broaden its constituency with a new kind of politics built on consensus and dialogue in an increasingly polarized society. Alas, the effort foundered on the same widening social and political rifts that led to the 1973 coup and 12 years of dictatorship, he says, and relations between intellectuals and politics after the return of democracy has taken two paths.
