"In Mexico, John Gibler's book has been recognized as a journalistic masterpiece, an instant classic, and the most powerful indictment available of the devastating state crime committed against the 43 disappeared Ayotizinapa students in Iguala. This meticulous, choral recreation of the events of that night is brilliantly vivid and alive, it will terrify and inspire you and shatter your heart." --Francisco Goldman, writer for The New Yorker, author of The Interior Circuit: A Mexico City ChronicleOn September 26, 2014, police in Iguala, Mexico attacked five busloads of students and a soccer team, killing six people and abducting forty-three students--now known as the Iguala 43--who have not been seen since. In a coordinated cover-up of the government's role in the massacre and forced disappearance, Mexican authorities tampered with evidence, tortured detainees, and thwarted international investigations. Within days of the atrocities, John Gibler traveled to the region and began reporting from the scene. Here he weaves the stories of survivors, eyewitnesses, and the parents of the disappeared into a tour de force of journalism, a heartbreaking account of events that reads with the momentum of a novel. A vital counter-narrative to state violence and impunity, the stories also offer a testament of hope from people who continue to demand accountability and justice.John Gibler is the author of Mexico Unconquered and To Die in Mexico: Dispatches From Inside the Drug War. His work on Ayotzinapa has been praised in The New Yorker, published in California Sunday Magazine, and featured on NPR's All Things Considered.

Throughout the twentieth century, administrations have wrestled with allaying public concern over national disasters and social scandals. This book seeks to describe historically the use of public inquiries, and demonstrates why their methods continued to deploy until 1998 the ingrained habits of lawyers, particularly by issuing warning letters in order to safeguard witnesses who might be to blame. Under the influence of Lord Justice Salmon, the vital concern about systems and services allotted to social problems was relegated to the identification of individual blameworthiness. The book explains why the last inquiry under that system, into the events of 'Bloody Sunday' under Lord Saville's chairmanship, cost £200 million and took twelve and a half years (instead of two years). 'Never again', was the Government's muted cry as the method of investigating the public concern was eventually replaced by the Inquiries Act 2005, by common consent a good piece of legislation. The overriding principle of fairness to witnesses was confirmed by Parliament to those who are 'core participants' to the event, but with limited rights to participate. The public inquiry, the author asserts, is now publicly administered as a Commission of Inquiry, and is correctly regarded as a branch of public administration that focuses on the systemic question of what went wrong, as opposed to which individuals were to blame

Ce livre prend pour objet les représentations d'un massacre colonial, la répression sanglante de tirailleurs sénégalais, ces soldats ouest-africains de l'Empire français, survenue au camp de Thiaroye, à proximité de Dakar, le 1er décembre 1944. Plus de soixante-dix ans après les faits, cet événement reste un sujet de controverse historiographique. Ce qui a longtemps été considéré par l'armée française comme une mutinerie, apparaît plutôt comme une tuerie organisée par les officiers coloniaux présents à Dakar. C'est ce que démontre un long et patient travail sur les archives de ce drame. De plus, cet ouvrage retrace les réappropriations passées et actuelles de cet événement au Sénégal, à travers diverses temporalités permettant de lire la trajectoire de la nation sénégalaise postcoloniale en suivant la mobilisation d'imaginaires historiques. Aujourd'hui, au Sénégal, les représentations attachées à l'événement du 1er décembre 1944 apparaissent comme un des paradigmes de la mémoire coloniale. Décrire ces usages du passé sur plusieurs décennies permet alors d'envisager l'articulation entre des mémoires dominantes ? officielles ou non ?, des formes particulières de rappel du passé et le rôle de ce passé dans certaines dynamiques identitaires.
