While the term “the disappeared” emerges in the aftermath of authoritarianism in Guatemala (1966) and Operation Condor in South America (perhaps most famously General Pinochet and his reign of terror in Chilean, but also juntas across South America including in Argentina), it describes a tactic that has long been in use and continues to be used by authoritarian regimes across the world, so it’s a concept to be aware of and understand.
Disappearance is characterized by illegal abduction, secret detention centers, torture, death, and unofficial burial.
Disappearance was, in theory, a way to avoid responsibility. The state maintained plausible deniability while effectively terrorizing their citizens into submission. The message is clear, you could be next.
QOTD: Have you heard of disappearing?

My latest talk for the “Why You Should Read ___” series for the #UniversityOfLouisville just dropped:
“Why You Should Read #DarkAcademia”
Book 24: “Babel” by #RFKuang.
I really wanted to like this. And I did until just after Robin gets into Oxford. Maybe it’s because so much resonated with my own life & studies, I didn’t need to be lectured to as much as he did—I get it, girl. My frustration may just be disappointment in my younger self. What is going on with editors these days? It did NOT need to be this long. The magical system rooted in translation was pretty cool. #DarkAcademia fails me again.
Book 19: "Ace of Spades" by #FaridahÀbíkéÍyímídé.
This was on a list of #DarkAcademia recommendations. And with POC? I borrowed it from the library with a quickness. But I kept waiting for the magic and instead got a #GossipGirl vibe. I watched the original TV show, so I'm not hating. This book just wasn't what I expected.
Which is a shame because I would normally be into a story about the only two Black kids at a private school. Categorize 
books properly
Book 9: "The Atlas Six" by #OlivieBlake
Written like bad streaming TV: mandatory "plot twists" clumsily done, artificially draws things out, a rushed final episode, and introducing a shadowy character in the last shot to laugh menacingly.
Frustrating, like most #DarkAcademia books. It’s got some interesting ideas and moments, but the writing doesn’t sustain them. The magic system and world-building are underdeveloped. Is it a rule that magic users are assholes?
I'm a liberal #atheist living in #Mississippi who uses social media to maintain connections to the reality-based community. I view Christian extremism as a threat to democracy and believe that religious freedom must include freedom from religion.
