These victims were tortured and killed, never to be seen again. Although the history of \u003ci\u003elos desaparecidos\u003c\/i\u003e, \"the disappeared,\" has become widely known, the stories of the Argentines who miraculously survived their imprisonment and torture are not well understood. \u003ci\u003eThe Reappeared\u003c\/i\u003e is the first in-depth study of an officially sanctioned group of Argentine former political prisoners, the Association of Former Political Prisoners of Córdoba, which organized in 2007. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Using ethnographic methods, anthropologist Rebekah Park explains the experiences of these survivors of state terrorism and in the process raises challenging questions about how societies define victimhood, what should count as a human rights abuse, and what purpose memorial museums actually serve. The men and women who reappeared were often ostracized by those who thought they must have been collaborators to have survived imprisonment, but their actual stories are much more complex. Park explains why the political prisoners waited nearly three decades before forming their own organization and offers rare insights into what motivates them to recall their memories of solidarity and resistance during the dictatorial past, even as they suffer from the long-term effects of torture and imprisonment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Reappeared\u003c\/i\u003e challenges readers to rethink the judicial and legislative aftermath of genocide and forces them to consider how much reparation is actually needed to compensate for unimaginable-and lifelong-suffering.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eREBEKAH PARK is a research scholar with the Center for the Study of Women at University of California, Los Angeles, and works as an applied anthropologist in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 198\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 22, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757779648800,"sku":"9780813568546","price":70.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/71ce09e101f6d3cd2778d5c66775981e.webp?v=1780111529","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-reappeared-argentine-former-political-prisoners-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
