Reunion

Finding the Disappeared Children of El Salvador

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is a profound and moving exploration of the causes of the separation of thousands of children from their parents and relatives during the civil war in El Salvador, and of the efforts of a small nongovernmental group, Pro-Búsqueda, to find them and to support both the childrens' and families' choices to be reunified. The author's engagement with each child or family and her writing is informed by her immense compassion and care as well as by her human rights and medical training."--Thomas J. White, coeditor of Silent Witness: Forensic DNA Analysis in Criminal Investigations and Humanitarian Disasters "Reunion reveals the lesser-known separations that have shaped many Salvadoran families. The stories in the book are rich, powerful, and deeply moving. Reading these unfiltered stories in the voices of the people who have suffered infinite pain is impactful. Elizabeth Barnert's writing is eminently engaging, accessible, and poignant."--Cecilia Menjívar, Professor, Dorothy L. Meier Social Equities Chair, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles
