Найти книгу: "Argentina's Missing Bones"

Argentina’s Missing Bones is the first comprehensive English-language work of historical scholarship on the 1976–83 military dictatorship and Argentina’s notorious experience with state terrorism during the so-called dirty war. It examines this history in a single but crucial place: Córdoba, Argentina’s second largest city. A site of thunderous working-class and student protest prior to the dictatorship, it later became a place where state terrorism was particularly cruel. Considering the legacy of this violent period, James P. Brennan examines the role of the state in constructing a public memory of the violence and in holding those responsible accountable through the most extensive trials for crimes against humanity to take place anywhere in Latin America.

Populaarse raamatu parandatud ja taiendatud uustrukk, lisatud on foto ja epiloog. Raamat raagib loo sellest, kuidas endine majandusajakirjanik jattis oma mugava elu Eestis ja kolis toole Buenos Airese vaestelinnaosasse, mismoodi ta seal paevakeskuses prussakatega voitles ja siis hoopis ulemuseks sai, mismoodi ta kais tutvumas vaalade ja pingviinidega, mismoodi ta ei suutnud prugikastiinimesega intervjuud teha, kuidas rullusid suhtemustrid vabatahtlike hulgas ja „Kakluskubiks” nimetatud uhiskorteris. „Buenos Airese hing on ulbe ja pirtsakas; samas ka ullas ja suuremeelne,” utleb autor. „Uhel hetkel virutab ta sulle oelalt naerdes sellise paugu, et vajud polvili, veremaik suus; teisel hetkel teeb sulle uskumatuna naivaid suuremeelseid kingitusi.”
