Abstract

diers impregnated women, wilfully and violently; are they proud of their own actions, ashamed, or curious and yearning to know and perhaps even father their potential offspring? What are the intergenerational ripples of perpetrating rape and how will they play out in the lives and politics of those concerned? Is there space for dialogue and reflection between those who often continue to live in close proximity of each other? What might the role of writing and ethnographic reflection be in these conversations? Legacies of War provides deep reflection and raises difficult questions. As such, this is an important book for students of the Andes, global gender justice, and (post-)conflict violence and reconciliation. In addition, it is a very well-written journey through the possibilities and value of ethnographic work and scholarship.
