Combining legal analysis, archival research and ethnographic methods, this book reveals how these cases operated as transitional justice mechanisms, performing the transition of the United States and its allies out of the Cold War order. It shows that U.S. courts produced a whitewashed history of U.S. involvement in repression in the Western bloc, while in Paraguay and the Philippines the distance from U.S. courts allowed for a more critical narration of the lawsuits and their underlying violence as symptomatic of structural injustice. By exposing the political meanings of these legal landmarks for three societies, Davidson sheds light on the blend of hegemonic and emancipatory implications of international human rights litigation in U.S. courts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $t Alien Tort Claims Act. 630 07 $a Alien Tort Claims Act (United States) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01376538 650 0 $a Government liability $z United States $x Cases. 650 0 $a Immunities of foreign states $z United States $x Cases. 650 0 $a Transitional justice $z United States $x Cases. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Cases. $z United States $x Cases. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Davidson, Natalie R, 1975- $t American transitional justice. $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY, USA : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108774529 $w (DLC) 2019056229 830 0 $a Human rights in history. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C02FEDEFE2B11EAA9C7A44D1FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
