Sinossi

Honorable Mention, 2020 CALACS Book Prize&;

Beyond Repair? explores Mayan women&;s agency in the search for redress for harm suffered during the genocidal violence perpetrated by the Guatemalan state in the early 1980s at the height of the thirty-six-year armed conflict. The book draws on eight years of feminist participatory action research conducted with fifty-four Q&;eqchi&;, Kaqchikel, Chuj, and Mam women who are seeking truth, justice, and reparation for the violence they experienced during the war, and the women&;s rights activists, lawyers, psychologists, Mayan rights activists, and researchers who have accompanied them as intermediaries for over a decade. Alison Crosby and M. Brinton Lykes use the concept of &;protagonism&; to deconstruct dominant psychological discursive constructions of women as &;victims,&; &;survivors,&; &;selves,&; &;individuals,&; and/or &;subjects.&; They argue that at different moments Mayan women have been actively engaged as protagonists in constructivist and discursive performances through which they have narrated new, mobile meanings of &;Mayan woman,&; repositioning themselves at the interstices of multiple communities and in their pursuit of redress for harm suffered.
