Its paid employees were known to few and their actual numbers remain uncertain. Its informers and collaborators operated clandestinely under pseudonyms and met their officers in secret locations. Its files were inaccessible, even to most party members. The people the secret police recruited or interrogated were threatened so effectively that some never told even their spouses, and many have held their tongues to this day, long after the regimes fell.With the end of communism, many of the newly established governments?among them Romania's?opened their secret police archives. From those files, as well as her personal memories, the author has carried out historical ethnography of the Romanian Securitate. Secrets and Truths is not only of historical interest but has implications for understanding the rapidly developing "security state" of the neoliberal present. 410 0$aNatalie Zemon Davis annual lecture series. 606 $aSecret service$zRomania$xHistory 606 $aPolitical persecution$zRomania$xHistory 610 $a20th century, Ethnography, History, Political persecution, Romania, Secret service. 615 0$aSecret service$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical persecution$xHistory. 676 $a363.28/309498 700 $aVerdery$b Katherine$f1948-$0513110 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793453703321 996 $aSecrets and truths$93754526 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03942nam 22007092 450 001 9910779342603321 005 20230324233903.0 010 $a1-139-79418-3 010 $a1-139-88918-4 010 $a1-139-77679-7 010 $a1-139-78282-7 010 $a1-139-77983-4 010 $a1-139-78375-0 010 $a1-139-17612-9 010 $a1-283-71473-6 010 $a1-139-77831-5 035 $a(CKB)2550000000708216 035 $a(EBL)1042513 035 $a(OCoLC)833769713 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000756706 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11467452 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000756706 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10754119 035 $a(PQKB)10529905 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139176125 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1042513 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1042513 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10618619 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL402723 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000708216 100 $a20111018d2013|||| uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aRacial subordination in Latin America $ethe role of the state, customary law, and the new civil rights response /$fTanya Kateri?

Latin America has nevertheless long prided itself on its absence of US-styled state-mandated Jim Crow racial segregation laws. This book disrupts the traditional narrative of Latin America's legally benign racial past by comprehensively examining the existence of customary laws of racial regulation and the historic complicity of Latin American states in erecting and sustaining racial hierarchies. Tanya Kateri? Herna?ndez is the first author to consider the salience of the customary law of race regulation for the contemporary development of racial equality laws across the region. Therefore, the book has a particular relevance for the contemporary US racial context in which Jim Crow laws have long been abolished and a 'post-racial' rhetoric undermines the commitment to racial equality laws and policies amidst a backdrop of continued inequality. 606 $aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation$zLatin America 606 $aAfricans$xLegal status, laws, etc$zLatin America 606 $aCustomary law$zLatin America 606 $aCivil rights$zLatin America 615 0$aRace discrimination$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aAfricans$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aCustomary law 615 0$aCivil rights 676 $a342.808/73 686 $aLAW000000$2bisacsh 700 $aHerna?ndez$b Tanya Kateri?$01499797 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779342603321 996 $aRacial subordination in Latin America$93726180 997 $aUNINA
