The End of the Future broadens the theoretical framework for
understanding memories' role in reconciliation following a violent
conflict. This book explores the complicated and confusing linkages
between memory and trauma for individuals caught up in civil war
and post-conflict reconciliation in the Peruvian Amazon's Huallaga
Valley—an epicenter for leftist rebels and a booming shadow
economy based on the extraction and circulation of cocaine. The End
of the Future tells the story of the TÚpac Amaru Revolutionary
Movement's (Movimiento Revolucionario TÚpac Amaru, MRTA) violent
attempts to overthrow the state in the late 1980s and early 1990s
from the perspective of the poorest residents of the lower
Huallaga's Caynarachi Basin. To give context to the causes and
consequences of the MRTA's presence in the lower and central
Huallaga, a poorly documented part of the Peruvian Amazon, the book
relies on the written works and testimony of SÍstero GarcÍa
Torres, an MRTA rebel commander, the government's Truth and
Reconciliation Commission, MRTA propaganda, media accounts, and
critical historical texts. Besides exposing Huallaga Valley human
rights abuses, the book's contribution to political anthropology is
consequential for its insistence that reconciliation is by no means
equivalent to local, indigenous notions of "justice" or customary
forms of dispute resolution. Without deliberately addressing the
diverse socio-cultural contours defining overlapping epistemologies
of justice, freedom, and communal wellbeing, enduring
reconciliation will likely remain elusive.
