Revisiting the Falklands-Malvinas Question: Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives

by Guillermo Mira and Fernando Pedrosa (editors)

About this book

This collection, edited by Guillermo Mira and Fernando Pedrosa, studies the Falklands–Malvinas conflict through history, literature, film, education and international relations. Its essays consider the 1982 war alongside dictatorship, exile, national identity and the political changes that followed in Latin America.

Contributors examine European and Latin American responses to the war, representations of the islands in writing and documentary cinema, patriotism, classroom narratives and the difficulties of negotiation. The volume brings perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic into conversation rather than concentrating solely on military operations. It also includes a guide to information resources on the conflict and an index.
