pp. xvii [2] 302.”A Lexicon of Terror, Marguerite Feitlowitz fully exposes the nightmare of sadism, paranoia, and deception the military dictatorship unleashed on the Argentine people, a nightmare that would claim over 30,000 civilians from 1976 to 1983 and whose leaders were recently issued warrants by a Spanish court for the crime of genocide. Feitlowitz explores the perversion of language under state terrorism, both as it’s used to conceal and confuse (“The Parliament must be disbanded to rejuvenate democracy”) and to domesticate torture and murder.”
