Argentina's Missing Bones (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Argentina’s Missing Bones is the first comprehensive English-language work of historical scholarship on the 1976–83 military dictatorship and Argentina’s notorious experience with state terrorism during the so-called Dirty War. It examines this history in a single but crucial place: Córdoba, Argentina’s second largest city. Prior to the dictatorship a site of thunderous working-class and student protest, it later became a place where the state terrorism was particularly cruel. Considering the legacy of this violent period, James P. Brennan examines the role of the state in constructing a public memory of the violence and in holding those responsible accountable through the most extensive trials for crimes against humanity to take place anywhere in Latin America.
