About this title

Synopsis

Spanish Edition available: Nuestra Cultura es Nuestra Resistencia: Represi�n, Refugio y Recuperaci�n en Guatemala

"Between 1993 and 2003 Jonathan Moller photographed communities uprooted by war in Guatemala. The result is Our Culture Is Our Resistance, a collection of portraits taken during that decade, revealing stories of life and death, of hope and despair, and of struggles for survival, respect, and truth. The beauty and strength of Moller's photographs and the accompanying texts not only document and preserve the faces and events associated with this land and its history, but also display for the viewer the humanity and dignity of these largely Mayan indigenous peoples."

Featuring 147 tritone portraits, Our Culture Is Our Resistance includes an introduction by Guatemalan Nobel Peace Laureate, Rigoberta Mench� Tum; essays by Francisco Goldman, Susanne Jonas, and Ricardo Falla; prose and poetry by Eduardo Galeano, Julia Esquivel, Francisco Morales Santos, Humberto Ak'abal, and Heather Dean. The book also includes testimonies and reflections by Guatemalan community members and survivors, as well as statements by photographer Sebasti�o Salgado, Eduardo Galeano a noted Guatemalan anthropologist, Jesuit priest and author, and William F. Schulz, Executive Director of Amnesty International USA.

About the Author

Jonathan "Jon�s" Moller is an award-winning documentary photographer and human rights activist. Since 1991 Moller has worked throughout Latin America, primarily Guatemala and Peru, documenting and photographing the repercussions of violent internal conflicts, and supporting work for truth and justice. Moller has published two books on Guatemala's 36-year war, Our Culture Is Our Resistance, and Rescatando Nuestra Memoria, (Recovering Our Historical Memory). His most recent book The Past is Present: Memories of Peru's Internal Armed Conflict was released in 2017. Numerous high resolution photographs fill the pages of Moller's books, as well as essays, memories and reflections from the communities and victims of war. Moller has an upcoming book (2019) presenting, through his photography, a visual display of the vibrant diversity among young Cubans.
