Learning through Collective Memory Work: Troubling Testimonio in Post-war Peru (Bristol Studies in Comparative and International Education)

This book traces the process of producing testimonio with the children of Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA). Challenging the notion of war-torn countries as pure devastation, the author invites readers to see them as sites of knowledge and creativity with much to offer for education, peace studies, and social justice research.
