La présence d'un passé de violences
Book • 2014
La présence d’un passé de violences analyzes how Indigenous communities in Guatemala remember and negotiate identities after the genocidal violence of the internal armed conflict.
Vanthuyne combines ethnography and memory studies to show how testimony, activism, and heritage practices shape post-conflict identities and claims for justice.
The book explores the role of survivors and descendants in reconstructing community ties and political subjectivities amid ongoing marginalization.
It highlights tensions between state-led transitional justice processes and local practices of memory and repair.
The work contributes to debates on transitional justice, memory politics, and Indigenous rights in Latin America.
