The Little School
1986 novel by Alicia Partnoy
The Little School[1][2] is a novel written by Alicia Partnoy,[3] a woman who was "disappeared" during the Dirty War[4] period of the history of Argentina.[5] It is an account of a clandestine detention center.[6] She tells of all the people that she met and saw through a tiny hole in her blindfold.[7] The guards made sure prisoners of The Little School did not talk with each other or see each other.[8] Prisoners were beaten and tortured for almost any reason and many were killed.[9]
Military regimes are not at all unusual in Argentina but those that ruled from 1976 to 1979[10] were unique in the number of civilians, mostly young people, who were kidnapped, jailed, tortured, and/or murdered because of their political beliefs.[11] Early in 1977 the author was taken into custody by the army and sent to "the little school,"
