Reviews
"An important contribution to our knowledge of ongoing processes for memory, truth, and justice, this must read selection of works addresses common experiences of State Terrorism while highlighting the uniqueness of each situation. Offering interdisciplinary perspectives, and through theoretically sophisticated and empirically grounded chapters, the authors convincingly demonstrate: the strong presence and persistence of this past and its current political significance; the heterogeneity of societies memories and the need to challenge dichotomies by recognizing diversity in the debates about what and how to remember; the multiple public and private spheres for memory transmission and [re]construction - including diasporic mnemonic communities." - Susana Kaiser, University of San Francisco and author of Postmemories of Terror: A New Generation Copes with the Legacy of the "Dirty War"
"This book reads as a fresh, creative set of analytical lenses into the rapidly growing memory studies field of Latin America's Southern Cone. The authors offer both well-regarded and original approaches. There is a nice mix of established and emerging scholars and the volume provides cutting edge empirical material on sites and voices of memory. The book will appeal to an ever-growing number of memory scholars." - Katherine Hite, Professor of Political Science; Director of Latin American and Latino/a Studies, Vassar College; and author of Politics and the Art of Commemoration: Memorials to Struggle in Latin America and Spain
