Co-edited by Memoria Abierta and the CeDinCi, and compiled by Vera Carnovale, Federico Lorenz, and Roberto Pittaluga, Historia, Memoria, y Fuentes Orales is a posthumous tribute to Dora Schwarzstein who contributed her training and dedication to Memoria Abierta’s Oral Archive.

This book brings together approximations and reflections relating to the problems of testimony as a source of understanding the human catastrophe and extreme violence that has characterized the past century.

Comprised of texts written by Mercedes Vilanova, Alejandra Oberti, Marieta de Moraes Ferreira, Elizabeth Jelin, Selma Leydesdorff and Alessandro Portelli, the volume begins with a text written by the compilers who put forth some reflections resulting from their work in Memoria Abierta’s Oral Archive.
