Determinants of Gross Human Rights Violations by State and State-sponsored Actors in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, and Argentina, 1960-1990
This book deals with the gross human rights violations that characterized the military repression in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay from the 1960s to the 1980s. Dr Wolfgang Heinz, the author of three of the four case studies is a German scholar. The second author, Dr Hugo Frühling, is a Chilean researcher. Both are renowned human rights specialists who have done in-depth research on the causes of gross human rights violations in these countries. They have interviewed generals and officers directly involved in the repression. They have unearthed secret documents and, building on existing scholarship, they have managed to draw a unique picture of the mechanisms of repressive domestic social control. They have investigated international factors as well as the dynamics of the interaction between guerrilleros and urban terrorists on the one hand, and the military, the police forces and the death squads on the other. The result is a comprehensive volume, broad and comparative in scope, and written with clinical detachment but also with humanitarian sympathy for the victims of repression.

1738, Carina de Ulloa recibe la carta que cambiará su vida. Su padre, un marino de la Armada Real destinado al Virreinato de Nueva Granada, le pide que se reúna con él en Cartagena de Indias.

Mi irresistible americano
Si hay algo que mueve al capitán Richard es la venganza. Lleva años dedicando su vida a ello. Nada desea más que vengarse del hombre que había destrozado a su familia. Después de intentar llevarlo a la ruina, decide que no es suficiente y está dispuesto a arrebatarle lo que más quiere en este mundo: su hijastra.

Después de unos días con Richard, algo le dice a Carina, que el capitán no es el hombre malvado que aparenta ser. Con su carácter y tenacidad ella sabrá abrirse paso a través del corazón del vengativo Richard hasta transformarse en lo más importante de su vida. Descubre esta nueva historia apasionante de la mano de Sophia Ruston.
What We Remember
This interdisciplinary monograph explores the discursive manifestations of the conflict over how to remember and interpret the actions of the military during the last dictatorship in Uruguay (1973-1985). Through the exploration of the discursive ways in which this powerful group represents past events and participants, we can trace the ideological struggle over how to reconstruct a traumatic past. By looking at memory as a social and discursive practice, the analysis identifies particular semiotic practices and linguistic patterns deployed in the construction of memory. The discursive description of what is remembered, how it is remembered, and who remembers serves to explain how the institution s construction of the past is transformed and maintained to respond to outside criticism and create an institutional identity as a lawful state apparatus. This book should interest discourse analysts, historians, sociologists and researchers in the field of transitional justice.
