Learning Through Collective Memory Work

Troubling Testimonio in Post-War Peru

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book traces the process of producing testimonio with the children of Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA), an insurgent group during Peru's internal war (1980-2000). It examines how the group navigates the postwar struggles over memory while dealing with "the children of terrorists" stigma. Drawing from a cycles of inquiry approach, the book theorises three movements for memory work: a realist presentation of testimonial narratives, a 'politics of memory' engaging with the conditions of production, and a 'poetics of memory' that troubles memory, voice, and representation for qualitative inquiry in postwar contexts. Challenging the notion of war-torn countries as pure devastation, the author invites readers to see them as sites of knowledge and creativity with much to offer for education, peace studies, and social justice research.
