SEARCHING FOR ALICIA
This is the dramatic and, for the author, very personal story of Alicia Raboy, one of the 30,000 who disappeared in Argentina in the 1970s.
In 1976 Alicia Raboy and her husband's car was stopped by an unmarked vehicle. Her husband was shot and killed and she was grabbed off the street. She managed to pass her eleven month old daughter to a bystander. She was never seen again.
Marc Raboy , who lives in Montreal, visited Argentina twice and met with Alicia's family, compelled by the possibility that Alicia and he were related (since Raboys from the same area of the Ukraine did emigrate to Argentina).
What he discovers as he reconstructs Alicia's life and untimely death is a powerful and frightening story that speaks volumes not only about Alicia and her comrades but also about all the disappeared".
A cross between Eleni and The Hare with Amber Eyes Searching for Alicia is a compelling personal story, but also a cultural and political history a searing portrait of a horrific era.
MARC RABOY is Beaverbrook Professor Emeritus in Ethics, Media and Communications in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University. A former journalist in a wide variety of media, he is the author or editor of some twenty books, including most recently his celebrated biography of Marconi. He has been a visiting scholar at Stockholm University, the University of Oxford, and New York University and has lectured all over the world. He is also a founding member of an international advocacy campaign for Communication Rights in the Information Society.
