Acts of Repair: Justice, Truth, and the Politics of Memory in Argentina de Natasha Zaretsky

Acts of Repair: Justice, Truth, and the Politics of Memory in Argentina: Genocide, Political Violence, Human Rights

Autor Natasha Zaretsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 dec 2020 – vârsta ani
Acts of Repair explores how ordinary people grapple with decades of political violence and genocide in Argentina—a history that includes the Holocaust, the political repression of the 1976–1983 dictatorship, and the 1994 AMIA bombing. Although the struggle against impunity seems inevitably incomplete, Argentines have created possibilities for repair through cultural memory, yielding spaces for transformation and agency critical to personal and political recovery.

Recenzii

"Acts of Repair compellingly emphasizes the value of narrative and testimony, using an ethnographic approach that is fine-grained and personal, dialogic and lyrical. This intimate book creates a nuanced frame for understanding immigrants, anti-Semitism, political culture, and memory practices, in Argentina and beyond."

 

"A masterful storylistener and storyteller, Natasha Zaretsky has written a heart-opening book that navigates the liminal spaces between silence and speech, erasure and memory, healing and trauma. The voices of her interlocutors sing and cry and are unforgettable. A stunning contribution to Latin American Jewish studies, as well as a beautiful enactment of the new soul-deep ethnography of the twenty-first century, this is a book that offers hope for humanity in fraught times."
 

"Acts of Repair presents a gripping account of a diversity of memorial sites and practices that emerged in Argentina in response to multilayered traumatic experiences of extreme political violence. Drawing on her ethnographic observations, in-depth personal interviews, and public testimonies, Zaretesky weaves personal voices into her insightful and sensitive study of the power of memory work to lead from political protest and demands for justice to human-rights trials and open venues for individual and collective processes of recovery. Acts of Repair will be of major interest to anyone interested in the comparative study of trauma, memory, human rights, and the intergenerational impact of genocide and terrorism."


"Drawing on anthropological work started at Princeton, Natasha Zaretsky *08 explores the everyday lives of people coping with political violence in Argentina. Acts of Repair: Justice, Truth, and the Politics of Memory in Argentina (Rutgers University Press) investigates how cultures exist with societal trauma and injustice, and how these wrongs might be repaired."


"At the heart of Acts of Repair are the Argentine people who let Zaretsky into their lives and told her their stories. Despite the trauma that they have endured, they have devoted their lives to sharing their experiences, out of a profound sense of obligation to their fellow survivors, victims, and future generations of Argentines." 

"Acts of Repair offers a broader canvas by situating the narrative within the larger history of European immigration to Argentina. That history, as illustrated in the book, created a national setting unlike any other in the world, as twentieth-century Argentina became a refuge for Jews fleeing the rise of Nazism and the aftermath of the Holocaust, as well as for Nazi officials, such as Adolf Eichmann, fleeing prosecution in Europe."
