Beyond Violence, Borders, and Silence: How Exiles Confronted Authoritarianism in Argentina and Colombia, 1970-1991
Leydy Diossa-Jimenez, Ph.D., University of Michigan
Beyond Violence, Borders, and Silence" examines how political exiles from Argentina and Colombia navigated repression and displacement between 1970 and 1991. Drawing on archival research and oral histories, UM Research Fellow Leydy Diossa-Jimenez, Ph.D., explores how exiles organized across borders, challenged authoritarian regimes, and fostered transnational solidarity. The talk highlights the ways exile became both a site of political struggle and a catalyst for reimagining democratic futures in Latin America.
