It was a pleasure to review Karen Robert's book, Driving Terror: Labor, Violence, and Justice in Cold War Argentina. It's a deep history of the Ford Falcon before, during, and after the nation's dictatorship. I highly recommend getting a copy! www.h-net.org/reviews/show... @h-diplo.bsky.social

In 2022, a student came to me asking about this group they had found mentioned in State Department documents called the United States Friends of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. I asked twitter for help and got no response. (🧵/1)

I can't get through "I Love You Forever" without weeping, which my daughters think is hysterical. Apparently though I am not the only one.
Also, Paperbag Princess is a mainstay in our house. I have gifted it to many a friend!

I've never been a fan of "Love You Forever" but this story about Robert Munsch--who has dementia--is wonderful. Read it.
