Recenzje

"In this powerful new book, Nelly Richard, Chile's premier cultural critic, takes on the reconfigurations of political and cultural memory at various moments since the return to democracy. In each instance, her lucid readings open the seams of oblivion that have sutured Chilean social life."Francine Masiello, University of California, Berkeley
