"Angels in Hell: Argentina's Willing Altruists?" explores the
characteristics and motivation of those who helped the persecuted
during the political killings that took place in the South American
country in the 1970's. The author compares Argentine rescuers to
those who helped the persecuted during the Holocaust. She claims
that just as there is a "banality of evil," as argued by Hannah
Arendt, there is also a "banality of good." There is nothing
extraordinary about Argentine rescuers. They are ordinary people
who get involved in extraordinary acts. They do not have a higher
morality or a broader universe of obligation than passive
bystanders. Instead, what makes the former and the latter different
is their social ties. The author explores the different ways in
which social networks can have an effect on an individual's
likelihood of getting involved in helping endeavors.
