Abstract
Description
El presente artículo constituye un avance inicial de una investigación sobre la historia y exterminio del movimiento político de Unión Nacional de Oposición, UNO, que estuvo vigente entre los años de 1972 y 1982. Metodológicamente se propone un ejercicio de historia oral y memoria histórica razonada desde abajo, es decir, a partir de los testimonios individuales y grupales de los sobrevivientes de la UNO, con el objetivo de contribuir a la reparación colectiva en los componentes político, material y simbólico. A partir de la historia de la UNO nos centramos en las prácticas genocidas desplegadas por la élite de poder, como eje de análisis para dar respuesta a la pregunta del por qué consideramos el exterminio de la UNO como un genocidio.
