The Reappeared: Argentine Former Political Prisoners: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Reappeared: Argentine Former Political Prisoners" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Between 1976 and 1983, during a period of brutal military dictatorship, armed forces in Argentina abducted 30,000 citizens. These victims were tortured and killed, never to be seen again. Although the history of los desaparecidos, the disappeared, has become widely known, the stories of the Argentines who miraculously survived their imprisonment and torture are not well understood. The Reappeared is the first in-depth study of an officially sanctioned group of Argentine former political prisoners, the Association of Former Political Prisoners of Crdoba, which organized in 2007. 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. The Reappeared 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.

For the Ex-Presos Polticos of Crdoba, Argentina
Contents
Acknowledgments
Without the help of many agencies and individuals, this project would not have been possible.
For funding this research, I am deeply grateful to the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program, the Pacific Rim Research Program, and the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The UCLA Center for the Study of Women also provided institutional support and library privileges.
I began working with former political prisoners in Argentina at the urging of Dr. Irene Martnez, a physician, writer, and human rights activist (and herself an ex-presa poltica or former political prisoner). Irene introduced me to her compaeros, or comrades; her fiery spirit and sense of humor continue to be an inspiration. For her wisdom, strength, and mentorship, I thank Sara Liliana Waitman, who, as president of the Asociacion de Ex-Presos Polticos de Crdoba (Association of Former Political Prisoners of Crdoba, or AEPPC) (20082011), took me under her wing and became my key informant. Juan Carlos lvarez, Ester Cabral, lida Ely Eichenberger, Mario Paredes, and Gladys Regalado all provided invaluable support, guidance, and friendship, and answered an endless stream of questions.
None of this would have been possible without the ex-presos themselves. All of the members of the AEPPC welcomed this foreign scholar, sharing mate (herbal tea) and their stories. I witnessed their steadfast commitment to social justice. I would like to thank all of the following former political prisoners, the majority of which were formally interviewed: Luis Acosta, Fidel Antonio Alczar, Juan Carlos lvarez, Roque Jos Antonio Anguinetti, Mara Mercedes Chicha Aranguren de Scheurer, Jorge L. Caballo Argaaraz, Amrico Aspitia, Atilio Basso, Ester Cabral, Sebastin Cannizzo, Irma Casas, Miguel Carlos Miguelito Contreras, Flix Gato Cornejo, Cristina Correa, Gloria di Rienzo, Maria Cristina Diaz, lida Ely Eichenberger, Graciela Josephina Feliz, Hugo Luis Fernndez, Hugo Roque Ferradans, Vctor Eduardo Ferraro, Ovidio Ramn Pajarito Ferreyra, David Lanuscou, Stella Molina, Juan Morales, Silvia Martos, Manuel Nieva, Pedro Nolasco Gaetn, Rosa Noto, Rodolfo Petiso Novillo, Mario Paredes, Norma Peralta, Mara del Carmen Carmencita Prez, Jorge Villero Ramrez, Gladys Regalado, Enzo Gringo Sacco, Alicia Staps, Carlos Hugo Surez, Jorge Alfredo Torriglia, Adriana and Alicia Varillas, Viviana Vivi Vergara, Juan Villa, Sara Liliana Waitman, and Heldo Zrate.
Carole Browner, Linda Garro, Geoffrey Robinson, Susan Slyomovics, and Jason Throop all provided close readings and critical commentaries, as did two anonymous readers from Rutgers University Press. Carole supported this project from the start, and Susan gave me the language to write about political prisoners, museums, and reparations. Geoffrey and Jason provided very detailed comments on the theory and structure that were instrumental in shaping the final version of this book. Geoffrey helped me realize the most significant findings of my research.
Jena Barchas-Lichtenstein read and offered substantive and stylistic advice and very helpful edits; Hanna Garth, scar Gil-Garca, and Natasha Rivers all read versions of individual chapters. I also thank Marilyn Silverman for her meticulous copyediting. I thank Marlie Wasserman for planting the idea to publish my book with Rutgers University Press.
I thank two Argentine scholars, Ludmila da Silva Catela and Jaime Malamud-Goti, as experts on human rights in Argentina. A good portion of this fieldwork was conducted at the Provincial Commission and Archive of Memory of Crdoba, where Ludmila and her staff graciously let me hang around for hours on end.
Muchsimas gracias a los Argentinos Pamela Almada, Natacha Gonzlez Cendra, Carmen Herrera, Martn Llanos, and Alicia Ester Schiavoni, who all taught me the language and culture in Argentina in the way that only true friends can. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes.
My work with the Crdobese former political prisoners continued even after my return to the United States through Alicia Partnoy and Ana Deutsch; their quick reception and warmth were greatly appreciated, as well as their scholarly insights on their own personal experiences. I would like to thank Ram Natajaran, Eva Roekel, and Katja Seidel for being wonderful compaeros to collaborate with, and exchange ideas on Argentinas human rights scene.
Cricket Buchler, Abby Fifer-Mandell, Lauren Gutterman, David Lowenfeld, Sally Mendelsohn, Jeff Park, Barbara Sheen, Suzanne Wertheim, and Kristin Yarris generously gave me personal and moral support.
Finally, I must thank Jonah Lowenfeld, Ezekiel Agustn Lowenfeld, and Zooey Corina Lowenfeld. Everything in my life is better because of Jonah, and my children, who both sat patiently in my womb during the writing of this book.
