Employing every means at its disposal - including rampant violation of human rights, union busting, and regressive economic policies - the dictatorship aimed to create its own kind of order. Lindsay DuBois's \u003cem\u003eThe Politics of the Past\u003c\/em\u003e explores the lasting impact of this authoritarian transformative project for the people who lived through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuBois's ethnography centres on José Ingenieros, a Buenos Aires neighbourhood founded in a massive squatter invasion in the early 1970s, and describes how the military government's actions largely subdued a politically engaged community. DuBois traces how state repression and community militancy are remembered in José Ingenieros and how the tangled and ambiguous legacies of the past continued to shape ordinary people's lives years after the collapse of the military regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rich and evocative study breaks new ground in its exploration of the complex relationships between identity, memory, class formation, neoliberalism, and state violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsay DuBois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802088449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802088444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.14d","brand":"Lindsay DuBois","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065134756095,"sku":"9780802088444","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90d563d3-000c-4be2-ad6b-16bb4d3b67c1.jpg?v=1768673222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-the-past-lindsay-dubois-9780802088444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
