Resistance
by Julian Fuks
(Charco Press, £12.99)
IN ARGENTINA there were at least 500 children among the 30,000 “disappeared” who were kidnapped by the government or born in detention during the military dictatorship that ran the country from 1976 to 1983.
Most of these children were given to military families, while some ended up being illegally adopted by civilians, but, thanks to the tireless work of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo (Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo), 128 of those children have been found and informed of their real identities to date.
