Argentina Betrayed: Memory, Mourning & Accountability
The number of disappeared from the years of dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983) is still unknown. What is clear is the lingering trauma. Anthropologist Tony Robben has spent his career studying the repercussions of this era. Robben argues that the inability to mourn the dead and the military’s continued refusal to take responsibility for the past has splintered Argentina into competing memory communities. A conversation with Tony Robben about his book, Argentina Betrayed: Memory, Mourning and Accountability, next on the August 5th episode of Realm of Memory.
