Join Detective Dazon Nobias and Dr. Eliza Hetaheart this moonlit evening on the virtuosic continent of Ravilo A land where studies of the afterlife and the occult have become popular trends amongst the scholars and populace alike. As Dazon roams Ravilo's streets at night for criminals, Eliza stands at the dawn of its technological renaissance. Hidden within the shadows of the emerald-illuminated cities is the emergence of shadejacktresy. A magic utilized within the criminal population where the art has found a wide-range of dangerous applications. That's when the Magistry Chasers turn to Dazon. Dazon spent his life studying shadejacktresy under one of the greatest minds on Ravilo. Now he specializes in solving near-impossible crimes involving the use of this magic. But when Dazon is invited home to the manor of his former mentor, the evening of reunion soon turns into peril as one of their number is found dead in what was thought to be a locked room. With the help of a new friendship found in Eliza, Dazon must comb through the assortment of guests before the murderer strikes again. Will the duo be able to find a killer among them? Or is there a more dangerous entity lurking the manor? One that had not only joined the festivities unwillingly, but chose to remain.
The first major history of Chile’s most significant peasant rebellion and the violent repression that followed In 1934, peasants turned to revolution to overturn Chile’s oligarchic political order and the profound social inequalities in the Chilean countryside. The brutal military counterinsurgency that followed was one of the worst acts of state terror in Chile until the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973–1990). Using untapped archival sources, award-winning scholar Thomas Miller Klubock exposes Chile’s long history of political violence and authoritarianism and chronicles peasants’ movements to build a more just and freer society. Klubock further explores how an amnesty law that erased both the rebellion and the military atrocities lay the foundation for the political stability that characterized Chile’s multi-party democracy. This historical amnesia or olvido, Klubock argues, was a precondition of national reconciliation and democratic rule, which endured until 1973, when conflict in the countryside ended once again with violent repression during the Pinochet dictatorship.
This special issue of Radical History Review looks at the different kinds of history produced by truth commissions organized to investigate political violence, state terror, and human rights violations around the globe and examines how these histories elide or confront social inequality and political violence. The essays consider the tensions implicit in the multiple mandates of truth commissions: to establish historical truths, to recognize the experiences of victims, to effect social and political reconciliation, and to reestablish the legitimacy of the nation-state at a time of market-driven globalization. The issue also addresses difficulties faced by the commissions, such as limitations on the use and nature of evidence, oral testimony, and archival documentation. Comparative in nature, this collection includes essays on Chile's long history of amnesties, pardons, and commissions organized to uncover past episodes of political violence; the dissemination and use of the historical findings of the Guatemalan Commission for Historical Clarification; and internal tensions in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which sought to recover the memories of the victims of apartheid. Several shorter essays offer reflections on U.S. commissions related to the country's history of racial violence, Cold War imperialism, and Vietnam War atrocities and on the findings of the 9/11 Commission report.
