The Cold War in Latin America spawned numerous authoritarian and
military regimes in response to the ostensible threat of communism
in the Western Hemisphere, and with that, a rigid national security
doctrine was exported to Latin America by the United States.
Between 1964 and 1985, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay,
and Uraguay experienced a period of state-sponsored terrorism
commonly referred to as the "dirty wars." Thousands of leftists,
students, intellectuals, workers, peasants, labor leaders, and
innocent civilians were harassed, arrested, tortured, raped,
murdered, or 'disappeared.' Many studies have been done about this
phenomenon in the other areas of Latin America, but strangely,
Mexico's dirty war has been excluded from this particular
scholarship. Here for the first time is a sustained look at this
period and consideration of the many facets that make up the nearly
two decades of the Mexican dirty war. Offering the reader a broad
perspective of the period, the case studies in the book present
narratives of particular armed revolutionary movements as well as
thematic essays on gender, human rights, culture, student
radicalism, the Cold War, and the international impact of this
state-sponsored terrorism.
