Abstract

Addressing the absence of second‐generation exiles from Southern Cone post‐dictatorship memory scholarship, this paper compares two documentaries: Hora Chilena, about the British‐Chilean community and Tus padres volverán, depicting Uruguayan exiles across Europe – both made by and/or about the no retornadxs (those who did not return to their countries of origin after dictatorship). The paper deploys documentary to offer a nuanced depiction of the hijxs del exilio (children of exile), finding them to be distinct to both the protagonist generation and their second‐generation peers in the Southern Cone. By incorporating neglected voices and reframing post‐dictatorship memory in Europe, the paper challenges memory narratives about second‐generation exile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
