![]() A Lexicon of Terror, Argentina and the Legacies of Torture Marguerite Feitlowitz CULTURAL PORTRAIT 1999 PAPER 302 PAGES
Harvard professor Feitlowitz interviewed Argentines from all sectors of society for this intensive study of the "Dirty War," which claimed 30,000 victims from 1976-1983. The cumulative impact of the testimony the people who were arrested, imprisoned or "gone missing" by the military is profound. A wordsmith by trade, the author looks at how activists, bystanders, victims and family members modified language to discuss the unimaginable horrors of this time.
