Critical Latin American Feminist Perspectives and the Limits and Possibilities of Human Rights Reports -- Sexual Necropolitics, Survival, and the Gender of Betrayal -- "Ghosts of Another Era": Gendered Haunting and the Legacy of Women's Armed Resistance -- Gendered Memories, Collective Subjectivity, and Solidarity Practices in Women's Oral Histories -- Epilogue. The Legacy of State-Sanctioned Violence and Specters of the Dirty Wars' Radical Women.

Subject: "The histories of the Dirty Wars in Mexico and Argentina (1960s-1980s) have largely erased how women experienced and remember the gendered violence during this traumatic time. Viviana Beatriz MacManus restores women to the revolutionary struggle at the heart of the era by rejecting both state projects and the leftist accounts focused on men. Using a compelling archival blend of oral histories, interviews, human rights reports, literature, and film, MacManus illuminates complex narratives of loss, violence, and trauma. The accounts upend dominant histories by creating a feminist-centered body of knowledge that challenges the twinned legacies of oblivion for the victims and state-sanctioned immunity for the perpetrators. A new Latin American feminist theory of justice emerges-one that acknowledges women's strength, resistance, and survival during and after a horrific time in their nations' histories. Haunting and methodologically innovative, Disruptive Archives attests to the power of women's storytelling and memory in the struggle to reclaim history"--
