Description: Sharply critical discussion of mechanisms, forms and methods of political repression developed to combat ultra-leftist guerrilla movements in Mexico during "dirty wars" of 1960s and 1970s.

Centers on concept of "homo sacer" individual who under Roman law was subject to being banned or killed by any other citizen and its continuing presence in modern-day political practice.
