This volume not only expands the field of Holocaust Studies by linking it to Latin American studies but also counters recent claims in postcolonial studies that the Holocaust was a European phenomenon and is not important to postcolonial consciousness. Estelle Tarica's excavation of the concepts underpinning various uses of Holocaust-era terminology to discuss current political events in Latin America is both timely and necessary. - Kitty Millet, author of The Victims of Slavery, Colonization, and the Holocaust: A Comparative History of Persecution
