A Review of “A Mother's Cry: A Memoir of Politics, Prison, and Torture under the Brazilian Military Dictatorship”

from previous edited volumes on the subject—and only one (Seveso) focuses principally on the long era of resistance after 1955. Yet these are precisely the periods of struggle about which James wrote most extensively—and during which Peronist culture had no need to supplement heresy with countervailing visions of stability, authenticity, and social mobility. Perhaps what is now required is renewed attention to the periodization of Peronism, not only in a strictly linear, chronological sense, but also on the level of the movement’s internal rituals and governing cycles. When was it heretical, and when was it conventional? This question ought to intrigue historians, who will also delight that—for the first time—their colleagues are no longer a minority among the contributors to an edited volume on Peronism. An excellent afterword by Mariano Plotkin lends further disciplinary coherence to the book, making it ideal for graduate history seminars on Peronism or Latin American cultural history and for undergraduate courses on populism.
