2022., Oxford University Press Call No: NEW QWF 982 R112l Availability:0 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: A chill overtook me as I absorbed the details of Alicia's story. Alicia and Paco were members of a revolutionary organization, the Montoneros, Argentina's most consequential urban guerrilla group of the 1970s. I remembered that when news of Argentina's desaparecidos -- the disappeared -- began to be reported, I occasionally wondered what my fate might have been had my grandfather remained in Argentina. Here, on the screen before me, was one possible answer to that question. Like so many of my generation, I had been involved in political activism, to a degree. I was never a member of any revolutionary organization but I knew people who were, and in Argentina that would have been enough. Argentina in the 1970s turned out to be a deadly place for youthful idealism. As many as 30,000 people, mostly in their 20s, were killed or "disappeared" (which became a verb during this era) between 1975 and 1983 in what Argentinians commonly refer to today as the period of terrorismo de Estado -- State Terrorism.
