Thus far, most of the reconstruction has been based on secondary sources (newspaper accounts, police reports, video footage, investigative journalists' descriptions). I now turn to my own fieldwork, which took place in Moreno and La Matanza. In Moreno, the following evidence comes mostly from El Cruce de Castelar (site of dozens of small stores, many of them looted during the week under investigation, hereafter El Cruce) and from Lomas Verde, a poor barrio located fifteen blocks from El Cruce from which many of the looters came. In the case of La Matanza, the evidence comes from the crossroads of Crovara and Cristianía (site of heavy looting activity, hereafter C&C) and from BID, a poor enclave situated thirteen blocks from it (also known as Barrio Villegas). In what follows I draw on in-depth interviews with owners, managers, and employees of stores located in both sites, with brokers of the Peronist Party and grassroots activists, and with residents of both barrios who either themselves participated in the lootings or knew someone who did.
