Radical Justice investigates the convoluted relationship between memory and justice as it is portrayed in political documentaries and detective fiction from Spain and the Southern Cone. It argues that the possibility of achieving justice in these regions lies beyond market and state and is yet to come. Rather than focusing on «high literature,»Radical Justice uses popular culture as a site from which to question both the inability of the state and the transnational market to come to terms with the dictatorial past and to deliver justice. This book will interest a wide range of scholars, from national literature and film specialists of Argentina, Chile, and Spain to philosophers and students of ethics, human rights, and questions of justice.

In the aftermath of the 1992-1995 Bosnian war, the discovery of unmarked mass graves revealed Europe’s worst atrocity since World War II: the genocide in the UN «safe area» of Srebrenica. To Know Where He Lies provides a powerful account of the innovative genetic technology developed to identify the eight thousand Bosnian Muslim (Bosniak) men and boys found in those graves and elsewhere, demonstrating how memory, imagination, and science come together to recover identities lost to genocide.
