Reviews
"Original, engaging, and direly needed. Lazzara, one of the leading scholars writing on human rights, memory, and trauma in Chile and Argentina, looks at the many ethical positions civilians have latched onto to save face in the decades since the Pinochet dictatorship."" - Greg Dawes, author of Verses Against the Darkness ""Provocative, conceptually powerful, and fluidly expressed, Lazzara's book forces a reckoning with the active, ample ways Chileans violently transformed politics, the economy, and the social fabric to lasting effect and amid ongoing denial. The arguments and implications extend well beyond Chile to our own politics and societies."" - Katherine Hite, author of Politics and the Art of Commemoration ""Beyond the notable contributions of this book to the Chilean context, Civil Obedience also encourages readers to imagine vulnerable self-referential narratives as a stepping stone toward a more equitable, community-centered world. - A Contracorriente"
