Stories of transnational terror and justice illuminate the past and
present of South America’s struggles for human rights Â
“Outstanding. . . . An Olympian view of the Condor
system.”—Philip Chrimes, International Affairs  Through
the voices of survivors and witnesses, human rights activists,
judicial actors, journalists, and historians, Francesca Lessa
unravels the secrets of transnational repression masterminded by
South American dictators between 1969 and 1981. Under Operation
Condor, their violent and oppressive regimes kidnapped, tortured,
and murdered hundreds of exiles, or forcibly returned them to the
countries from which they had fled. South America became a zone of
terror for those who were targeted, and of impunity for those who
perpetuated the violence. Â Lessa shows how networks of
justice seekers gradually materialized and effectively transcended
national borders to achieve justice for the victims of these
horrors. Based on extensive fieldwork, archival research, trial
ethnography, and over one hundred interviews, The Condor Trials
explores South America’s past and present and sheds light on
ongoing struggles for justice as its societies come to terms with
the unparalleled atrocities of their not-so-distant pasts.
