Latin America sits at the centre of the third wave of
democratisation beginning in the early 1980s. It has advanced
farther than any other region of the world in its accountability
processes for past human rights violations perpetrated during
authoritarian regimes and armed conflicts. Despite these human
rights achievements, Latin America is known as the most violent
global region. In the last two decades since the transitions,
serious human rights violations, especially disappearances, have
increased exponentially in several countries in the region. This
volume seeks to understand these post-transition disappearances. It
does so by examining four different countries and the dynamics that
play out there. It considers a variety of voices and points of
view: those expressing the experiences from the perspectives of
victims and relatives; those of activists, advocates, and public
officials seeking truth and justice; and those from scholars
attempting to draw out the specificities in each case and the
patterns across cases. The underlying objective behind the project
to gain knowledge and to draw on deep commitment to change within
the region is to overcome this tragedy. After reading this volume,
readers will not only have an overview of the practice of
disappearances in the region, but will also be able to gauge how,
despite the differences, the social and political logics that make
disappearances possible are similar. The disappearances of the past
and those of present are not the same, and it would be a mistake to
consider them that way, but the social practices that make them
possible are similar. These practices are what we call the logics
of disappearance.
