Description

According to the description provided by the publisher, Scholarly Resources "the collection contains a wide range of documentation, with its principal strength in primary sources such as serials, reports, fliers, pamphlets, posters, manuscripts, and correspondence. The publications generally provide a left-wing ideological perspective covering progressive and human rights issues, but documentation of the political right, the military governments, and the Church is also included.

These sources document a history of the activities of various groups, the responses of the government or other authoritative bodies, and the engagement of organizations outside of the country. This material offers a valuable grass-roots perspective on the evolution of the politics of the period and shows the impact that human rights organizations, solidarity groups, guerillas, labor unions, and women, to name a few, had on the state and political elites.

The collection is arranged by country and by subject, then chronologically internally.
