2008 Rojas-Perez Writing the Aftermath. Anthropology and "Post-conflict" (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This chapter examines the persistence of violence in "post-conflict" Latin America, challenging the notion that political transitions automatically lead to peace. An analysis of historical truth commissions reveals that rather than offering a clean break from the past, these mechanisms often uncover ongoing state-sponsored violence and complicated dynamics related to class, ethnicity, and race. The chapter argues for a deeper understanding of the socio-political conditions in these societies that continue to shape experiences of violence and trauma.
