Beskrivning
This powerful text provides the first systematic analysis of the second wave of memory and justice mobilization throughout Latin America. Pairing clear explanations of concepts and debates with case studies, the book offers a unique opportunity for students to interpret the history and politics of Latin American countries. The contributors provide insight into human rights issues and grassroots movements that are essential for a broader understanding of struggles for justice, memory, and equality across the globe, especially during our current unsettled times of political polarization, violence, repression, and popular resistance worldwide.

This volume analyzes memory, truth, and justice struggles in Latin America, and their achievements and limitations, in what editor Roberta Villalón terms the “second wave” of such mobilizations. It also aims to offer “activist scholarship” to contribute to changing the conditions that perpetuate injustice and impunity. The book poses some key issues across a range of countries. . . . The volume raises provocative questions and adds to our understanding of diverse responses to impunity in Latin America.
