Book of the Disappeared
The University of Michigan Press (Verlag)

Book of the Disappeared highlights the ways in which genocide and enforced disappearances are intertwined—each centering on human rights violations. The quest for human rights protection has turned into a global movement both in democratic and undemocratic societies. Human rights advocates—academic and practitioners—along with the victims' families have kept genocide and enforced disappearance in the spotlight. This book draws on insight and expertise of human rights advocates worldwide and each chapter is informed by in-depth study of a given country. Scattered throughout the book are interludes, presented as short “factoids,” historic and contemporary, intended to magnify the topics of disappearance, genocide, and transitional justice. They contain thought-provoking art pieces to illustrate some of the work being done by contemporary artists to address issues of injustice, disappearance and genocide.
Jennifer Heath is an Independent scholar, Author/Editor, Activist, and Curator. Ashraf Zahedi, a sociologist, is a Visiting Scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
