Francesca Lessa’s latest book wins LASA’s 2024 Premio Iberoamericano Book Award

The Premio Iberoamericano is presented at each of LASA’s International Congresses for the outstanding book on Latin America in the social sciences and humanities published in Spanish or Portuguese in any country. LASA is the largest professional association in the world for individuals and institutions engaged in the study of Latin America.

This is the third recognition that Dr Lessa’s book has received since it was originally published in English as The Condor Trials: Transnational Repression and Human Rights in South America by Yale University Press in 2022. The English original was the winner of the 2023 Juan Méndez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America (Duke University) and also received an honourable mention for the LASA’s 2023 Bryce Wood Book Award. 

The Condor Trials has been published in Spanish and Italian, and a French translation is forthcoming in September 2024.
