The authors focus on the policies of deterritorialization, analyzing what they call "the dynamic of mobilization of the diaspora" and the "politics of return," as well as the transformational effect that the exiled had on the redemocratization process. This book constitutes an essential contribution to comparative analyses of these four countries and brings together the humanities, political sciences, history, and sociology ... When considering current debates on
migration and displacement, this book becomes even more relevant, as it invites the reader to rethink Latin American exiles and their diasporas, bridges, and networks.
