The "disappearance" and torture of many people during the worst days of the authoritarian regimes that ruled many Latin American countries in the 1970s have been well documented and widely condemned as abuses of human rights. Less well known is what has become of the movements for human rights once democratic governments were restored in these countries. In this book, Michelle Bonner reveals how the defense of human rights continues today, taking Argentina as her primary example (with comparison to Chile in the final chapter).Bonner shows that the role of women viewed as protectors of the family is key to understanding how human rights movements have evolved.

Industry Reviews

“This thoughtful, original study shows how women’s human rights movements in Argentina adopted and extended gendered historical frames to forge a new political vocabulary for the promotion of human rights. Its comprehensive coverage of Argentina’s path-breaking experience and its theoretical contribution, deepening our understanding of framing and the struggle for political legitimacy, should be of wide interest in Latin American studies, women’s studies, political science, history, and sociology.”
