Project description
This project starts out from the insight that a tension exists in Peruvian transitional justice practices between indigenous survivors, the state and NGOs. As a hypothesis I state that this tension is shaped by, among other factors, the collision between transitional justice’s search for closure on the one hand, and the presence of the past felt by survivors of violent conflict on the other hand.
