| Sumario: | This book examines the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (ESMA), a notorious clandestine detention center during Argentina's last dictatorship (1976-1983). It served as a site of torture, disappearance, and repression, holding around 5,000 people, with only 300 survivors. The book seeks to provide new insights into ESMA's operations, its uniqueness among other detention centers, and the logic of its repressors. It explores the microcosm of power dynamics within the facility, combining overt violence with psychological destruction. The authors, including historians and social scientists, aim to understand the broader implications of these repressive actions within Argentina's political landscape. Intended for scholars and those interested in human rights, the book delves into the historical memory and ongoing impact of state terrorism.
