Political Violence and Trauma in Argentina (The Ethnography of Political Violence)
"The definitive account of the Dirty War and its origins and consequences."—Latin American Research Review"Readers will certainly benefit from this fine book that provides a comprehensive discussion of the place of violence in Argentine political culture and constitutes an excellent addition to a growing literature on the topic."—Journal of Latin American Studies"Robben offers a comprehensive account of a deeply traumatic time in Argentinean history, in a way that allows readers not only to put the separate pieces together but also illuminates broader dynamics regarding alternative forms of democracies. We see history and anthropology tellingly and convincingly entwined. It should become a classic."—Rob Borofsky, Center for Public Anthropology
