Description

Volume 10 in a series of publications resulting from the SSRC program on Collective Memory of Repression, this edited collection explores how military institutions in Latin America’s Southern Cone have responded, in ever shifting ways, to the discourses and practices stemming from societal efforts to come to grips with contemporary histories of state sponsored political violence. Essays in the book consider the ways in which military institutions portrayed their role in political violence, their reactions to Truth Commissions of various sorts, and their evolving positions concerning trials for human rights abuses.
