BRETT, Roddy  y  SOLOP, Frederic I. Saying silenced trues and refuting subaltern invisibilities: Academic research in legal cases. Nómadas [online]. 2008, n.29, pp.80-95. ISSN 0121-7550.

This text compares the experiences of two researchers working in legal cases: Roddy Brett's in a trial against former Guatemalan Army high command charged with genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and Frederic Solop's, as a researcher in a series of cases involving racial profiling in Arizona. The article also examines the researcher's dilemmas as a legal case researcher in a context where the investigation might be questioned and the researcher might in fact find serious tensions and limits between the personal and the professional.

Palabras clave : legal research, Mayan genocide; racial profiling; human rights.
