Cardenas synthesizes a large volume of research and incorporates primary documents, wide-ranging cases, images, and supplementary student resources, to explore basic themes of terror and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Through this book [Cardenas's] voice emerges as that of a determined but clear-eyed optimist, willing to confront the dark realities of politics and power but inclining toward what another Latin Americanist, Albert Hirschman, adopted as 'a bias for hope.' . . . In all, it is a remarkable compact synthesis on this sprawling subject.\" * Alexander Wilde, \u003ci\u003eJournal of Latin American Studies\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Like the experience of human rights in Latin America which it details, Cardenas' text is rich and complex. \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights in Latin America: A Politics of Terror and Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique and engaging approach to the study of human rights in Latin America. It is a text that demands serious attention.\" * Carrie Booth Walling, \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Sonia Cardenas emphasizes [the themes of terror and hope] in her informative and lucid text . . . . This well-researched and readable book will be useful to anyone wanting to learn more about this important topic.\"\" * James Franklin, \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights Review\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a book that can satisfy even the most demanding instructors . . . .Cardenas's analysis is always balanced, but at the same time she makes her points convincingly and forcefully.\" * Cesar Seveso, \u003ci\u003eH-Net\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Solidly researched and gracefully written, Sonia Cardenas's \u003ci\u003eHuman Rights in Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e fills a significant gap. It is a deceptively easy read, with plenty of substance but packaged in an accessible and fluent prose-a combination we see all too infrequently. It will be warmly welcomed by both students and their professors in courses on Latin American politics and inter-American relations.\" * Lars Schoultz.
