| Abstract: | "Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina demonstrates through a multilevel analysis the process by which different historical strands of violence coalesced during the 1970s into an all-out military assault on Argentine society and culture." "Combining history and anthropology, this compelling book rests on thorough archival research; participant observation of mass demonstrations, exhumations, and reburials; and interviews with military officers, guerrilla commanders, human rights leaders, and former disappeared captives. Robben's penetrating analysis of the trauma of Argentine society is of great importance to our understanding of other societies suffering similar crimes against humanity."-- From the English edition. |
