Hatcher, Rachel.

The power of memory and violence in Central America[electronic resource] /by Rachel Hatcher. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2018. - xvii, 238 p. :ill., digital ;23 cm.

Introduction: On the Calle del Olvido -- Chapter 1: The speakers, writers, painters, and plasterers -- Chapter 2: Schizophrenic memory in the land of La Eterna Primavera -- Chapter 3: Nunca Mas in Guatemala -- Chapter 4: Verdad or olvido in El Pulgarcito de America -- Chapter 5: The past as monument in El Salvador -- Chapter 6: Contested discourse in El Salvador and Guatemala -- Conclusion: The power of words, and of remembering.

This book explores the power of words in post-Peace El Salvador and Guatemala--their violent and equally liberating power. The volume explores the entire post-Peace Accords era in both Central American countries. In "post-conflict" settings, denying or forgetting the repressive past and its many victims does violence to those victims, while remembering and giving testimony about the past can be cathartic for survivors, relatives, and even for perpetrators. This project will appeal to readers interested in development, societies in transition, global peace studies, and Central American studies. Rachel Hatcher is an independent researcher. She held fellowships at the Institute for Reconciliation and Social Justice at the University of the Free State, South Africa, and Concordia University, Quebec.
