The book provides a valuable look at the continuing human rights struggles of those targeted during the dictatorship as well as the divisions and disagreements. By focusing on C rdoba, Park also offers an important example of how those outside Buenos Aires organize and attempt to deal with continuing issues related to their treatment during the dictatorship. Recommended. --Choice [The Reappeared] makes a significant contribution to studies of human rights as it helps readers understand the gray areas of victimhood and demands that societies create spaces for complex victims as they deal with the aftermath of violence. --Anthropological Quarterly The Reappeared turns our beliefs of victimhood upside down. Who qualifies as a victim in transitional justice mechanisms? Park argues that victims are unequal and legal rights can only do so much to protect them ... This all makes The Reappeared a welcome wakeup call from our dream that human rights can protect all victims equally at all times and that transitional justice mechanisms can provide sufficient redress for survivors. --Allegra Lab: Anthropology, Law, Art & World This is a pioneering study about former political prisoners in post-dictatorship Argentina.
