Project description
The research project explores how victims participate in formal and informal spaces in the aftermath   of the internal armed conflict in Guatemala. The project is rooted in a qualitative case study that examines the experiences of the victims of the Cocop massacre (1981) by foregrounding their different forms of collective action, identities, tensions and demands in their trajectories of mobilization.
