The Little School: A Consideration of those who Disappeared or Who Survived the Argentinean Junta

Abstract: This 5 page paper considers Alicia Partnoy's book of short stories entitled 'The Little School: Tales of Disappearance and Survival' document incidences from her three and a half month imprisonment at this secret prison camp. The stories are firsthand accounts of the atrocities as well as containing what can be argued as evidence to the location and identification of those involved. However, the books strongest message must be that of hope and survival despite terrible odds, with survival only starting after release as this is when the reality of the past must be faced. The bibliography cites 1 source.
