Consent of the Damned

Ordinary Argentinians in the Dirty War

By: David M K Sheinin

Under violent military dictatorship, Operation Condor and the Dirty War scarred Argentina from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, leaving behind a legacy of repression, state terror, and political murder. Even today, the now-democratic Argentine government attempts to repair the damage of these atrocities by making human rights a policy priority. But what about the other Dirty War, during which Argentine civilians--including indigenous populations--and foreign powers ignored and even abetted the state's vicious crimes against humanity? In this groundbreaking new work, David Sheinin draws on previously classified Argentine government documents, human rights lawsuits, and archived propaganda to illustrate the military-constructed fantasy of bloodshed as a public defense of human rights. Exploring the reactions of civilians and the international community to the daily carnage, Sheinin unearths how compliance with the dictatorship perpetuated the violence that defined a nation. This new approach to the history of human rights in Argentina will change how we understand dictatorship, democracy, and state terror.

Argentina and the United States

An Alliance Contained

By: David M. K. Sheinin

In the first English-language survey of Argentine-U.S. relations to appear in more than a decade, David M. K. Sheinin challenges the accepted view that confrontation has been the characteristic state of affairs between the two countries. Sheinin draws on both Spanish- and English-language sources in the United States, Argentina, Canada, and Great Britain to provide a broad perspective on the two centuries of shared U.S.-Argentine history with fresh focus in particular on cultural ties, nuclear politics in the cold war era, the politics of human rights, and Argentina's exit in 1991 from the nonaligned movement. From the perspectives of both countries, Sheinin discusses such topics as Pan-Americanism, petroleum, communism and fascism, and foreign debt. Although the general trajectory of the two countries' relationship has been one of cooperative interaction based on generally strong and improving commercial and financial ties, shared strategic interests, and vital cultural contacts, Sheinin also emphasizes episodes of strained ties. These include the Cuban Revolution, the Dirty War of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the Falklands/Malvinas War. In his epilogue, Sheinin examines Argentina's monetary crash of December 2001, when the United States-in a major policy shift-refused to come to Argentina's rescue.

Prizefighting and Civilization

A Cultural History of Boxing, Race, and Masculinity in Mexico and Cuba, 1840-1940

By: David C. LaFevor

In Prizefighting and Civilization: A Cultural History of Boxing, Race, and Masculinity in Mexico and Cuba, 1840–1940, historian David C. LaFevor traces the history of pugilism in Mexico and Cuba from its controversial beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century through its exponential rise in popularity during the early twentieth century. A divisive subculture that was both a profitable blood sport and a contentious public spectacle, boxing provides a unique vantage point from which LaFevor examines the deeper historical evolution of national identity, everyday normative concepts of masculinity and race, and an expanding and democratizing public sphere in both Mexico and Cuba, the United States’ closest Latin American neighbors. Prizefighting and Civilization explores the processes by which boxing—once considered an outlandish purveyor of low culture—evolved into a nationalized pillar of popular culture, a point of pride that transcends gender, race, and class.

Inventory of Marriage and Family Literature

1981 Volume 8

By: David H. Olson,Roxanne Markoff

The eighth volume of this invaluable series provides nonevaluative listings of English language articles on marital and family life published in 1981. The mushrooming interest in the field is reflected in the growing number of professional journals and journal articles published in the field. This volume contains 2,935 articles by approximately 4,464 authors published in 990 journals. All articles published in the leading marriage and family journals are listed, and articles from many more broad ranging sources are also included. The three indexing systems in this volume (author index, subject index, and key word in title) have been improved for easier use and clarity. Author's addresses have also been added so that it is easier to obtain reprints of the articles. The value of the journal to researchers in family studies is evident. There has been a 45% increase in the number of journals which published 30 or more articles in the field during 1980. Consider the number of different journals that would have to be purchased to obtain even a small proportion of the articles published during the year. The complete set of the Inventory now includes almost 39,000 article listings. The other volumes are also available from SAGE, starting with Volume 3. This volume is a necessity for anyone who wishes to do research work on marriage and the family. 'The Inventory is one of those resources that is a must for the library of any professional in the family life field or the library to which one has access...As such it has great value to the clinical practitioner, family life educator, researcher, and theoretician.' -- Family Relations, April 1983
