Produktbeschreibung

"How can enforced disappearance be anything but exceptional? Graham Denyer Willis shows us exactly how--through the logics and ripples of mundanity and indifference. For scholars of violence and its resistance, this book is a profound, essential read."--Sarah Wagner, author of What Remains: Bringing America's Missing Home from the Vietnam War "With profound empathy and courage, this book listens closely to terrifying silences, digging and sifting to reveal what they can tell us about who is valued, who is not, and why."--Anthony W. Fontes, author of Mortal Doubt: Transnational Gangs and Social Order in Guatemala City "A moving and powerful account, based on extensive field research in a country where an average of 150,000 people disappear every year. This is not a book about some underworld of the global South. It is a book about the contemporary mechanisms of reproducing deep inequality and the violent political conflicts that result. After the mourning comes the struggle."--Gabriel Feltran, Professor of Sociology, Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil
