This book focuses on emotional engagement in academic research
with victims of violence and testimonial documentation in Latin
America. It examines the recent history of resistance to violence
and political repression in Latin America, highlighting the role
of emotions in the political sphere. The authors analyse the role
of researchers committed to social change and question the
mandate of distance and neutrality in academic research in
contexts of extreme violence. They use case studies of social
resistance to political violence in Mexico, Guatemala, El
Salvador, Nicaragua, Colombia and Chile.
