Andean Truths: Transitional Justice, Ethnicity, and Cultural
Production in Post-Shining Path Peru studies how literature, drama,
film, and the visual arts contest the dominant narrative of
national peace and reconciliation, as constructed by Peru's Truth
and Reconciliation Commission. Established in 2001, the Commission
aimed to 'investigate and make public the truth' of the country's
twenty-year civil war, drawing upon homologous predecessors that
provided a highly scripted model of truth-gathering and national
healing. In this model, a predetermined collective mourning,
catharsis, and reconciliation would move the nation forward in a
consensually-determined fashion. Andean Truths shows that the
Peruvian case proves internationally-endorsed models insufficient
for arriving at the 'truth' of a national trauma that primarily
affected disenfranchised ethnic groups, namely, the Andean Quechua
speaking populations that accounted for the overwhelming majority
of victims of the violence. Even as scholars recognize the
importance of bringing multiple voices to the table in discussing
post-Shining Path Peru, we are still trying to understand what a
more Andean-oriented transitional justice process might entail.
Drawing on theories of decoloniality, intercultural communication
and epistemological diversity (following scholars such as Enrique
Dussel, Anibal Quijano and Boaventura de Sousa Santos), Lambright
analyzes cultural products, from the theater of Yuyachkani to the
narrative of Oscar Colchado Lucio, the art of Edilberto Jimenez,
and other popular artistic responses, that highlight Andean
understandings of the conflict and its aftermath. These cultural
products challenge dominant understandings of the conflict and
question Peru's ability to overcome its collective trauma without
seriously reconsidering prevailing cultural paradigms. Andean
Truths was awarded the 2015 Modern Language Association's Katherine
Singer Kovacs Prize for Outstanding Book on Latin America or Spain.
