Reviews

A powerful, well-researched book covering the many forms of memorialization employed by various entities to convey the loss during the long period of violence against the Indigenous Maya people –particularly Maya women. This exploration of the many sites offers a much-needed lens on an often overlooked and understudied genocide. * Donna Gosbee, Pensacola State College, USA * DiGeorgio-Lutz and Galvan-Mandujano’s book embodies a feminist ethos, demonstrating care and attention to both the research process and women’s experiences. This important book brings to light the experiences of women in 20th century genocidal violence in Guatemala, based on extensive fieldwork in memorial and commemoration as well as women’s testimonies. Women and Genocide in Guatemala is an impactful addition to genocide, memory, and gender studies. * Melanie O’Brien, University of Western Australia, Australia *
