Opis

This book is an examination of the history of the Nunca Más report issued by Argentina’s National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons established to investigate the disappearances perpetrated by state in the 1970s. Given the canonical nature of Nunca Más, it sheds light on Argentina’s social memory of its violent past.

Recenzje

"The production and effects of the Argentine Nunca Más report, well-known events in recent Latin American history, have been hardly analyzed with such thoroughness. Crenzel brings politics back to our understanding of human rights and showing the array of actors and ideas involved in the crafting and later interpretation of this landmark in the history of global human rights movements. In addition, he masters the cultural and sociological implications of these processes." – Vania Markarian, Columbia University
