Diane M. Nelson settles accounts with Guatemala

  • Ana Braconnier De León

When does the war end, when does the post-war period begin? Nelson does not offer us a fixed answer because it is impossible to "disentangle" the war from the peace when she writes this book in its first edition. However, throughout the text, she proposes a way of understanding this period characterized by its ambivalence and complexity.
