"The Shark and the Sardines" is a political essay written by Juan José Arévalo, a former president of Guatemala. The book explores the concept of democracy and the challenges it faces in Latin America. Arévalo argues that democracy is often undermined by the power of oligarchies and foreign interests, leading to inequality and poverty. He uses the metaphor of a shark and sardines to illustrate this dynamic, with the shark representing the powerful few and the sardines representing the masses. Arévalo suggests that true democracy requires the empowerment of the sardines, and that this can only be achieved through education, social justice, and economic reform. The book is a call to action for Latin American countries to embrace true democracy and work towards a more equitable and just society.
