Consent of the Damned
Under violent military dictatorship, Operation Condor and the Dirty War scarred Argentina from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, leaving behind a legacy of repression, state terror, and political murder. Even today, the now-democratic Argentine government attempts to repair the damage of these atrocities by making human rights a policy priority. But what about the other Dirty War, during which Argentine civilians--including indigenous populations--and foreign powers ignored and even abetted the state's vicious crimes against humanity? In this groundbreaking new work, David Sheinin draws on previously classified Argentine government documents, human rights lawsuits, and archived propaganda to illustrate the military-constructed fantasy of bloodshed as a public defense of human rights. Exploring the reactions of civilians and the international community to the daily carnage, Sheinin unearths how compliance with the dictatorship perpetuated the violence that defined a nation. This new approach to the history of human rights in Argentina will change how we understand dictatorship, democracy, and state terror.

This volume develops a vivid picture of how European stage directors have continued to redefine their own position and role throughout the latter half of the 20th century.
The Other Barrio
In the title story, a once-elegant hotel—now a rundown apartment building for mostly single men and a few desperate families—burns to the ground, killing seven people. City building inspector Roberto Morales had recently reviewed it and knows there was nothing wrong with the wiring, even before he’s hustled off to a “meeting” with a local mafioso. As he pounds the pavement of San Francisco’s grimy Mission District, looking for clues to the fire, he realizes the lengths to which developers will go to make another million—even as far as sending seven innocent souls to “the other barrio.” San Francisco Poet Laureate Emeritus Alejandro Murguía imbues his mostly brown, working-...
