8 Vania Markarian’s Uruguay, 1968: Student Activism from Global Counterculture to Molotov Cocktails (Oakland: University of California Press, 2017) explores the relationship between youth counterculture and the Uruguayan left. The author argues that the PCU equally embraced counterculture in an effort to appeal to a growing middle-class base, specifically among students (see pages 146–47). The trend serves the author’s broader argument, which claims that Uruguay’s student movements maintained close relations with traditional left organizations. However, the work falls victim to using trends within the PCU and MLN-T to make broader claims about the left. While FAU militants recall debating among themselves regarding their tastes for music and art, the organization insisted that militants refrain from exhibiting such open markers of counterculture because of their estrangement from working-class culture and their potential to mark themselves as subversives.
