After the conclusion of the 36-year long civil war in Guatemala, a Commission for Historical Clarification (CEH) was established in order to clarify human rights violations which took place.This organisation recommended a process of public memorialization of the victims in coordination with civil society organizations.Memorialization of this kind took both formal and informal froms: murals and graffiti as well as museums and public shrines.Based on extensive fieldwork this book deploys visual methodology and feminist theory in order to assess these efforts of memorialization in a gendered context.Multiple sites of memorialization are examined in relation to female representation as well as women’s political activism in the process of constructing public memory and performance.This study offers a landmark contribution to memorialization studies by examining such practices in the Guatemalan context.
