Memory of Silence - The Guatemalan Truth Commission Report (Paperback, 2012 ed.)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

"Memory of Silence"is an edited English language version of the
Guatemalan Commision for Historical Clarification (CEH). CEH was
one of the more important and successful truth commissions,
exposing the details of "la violenca" during which hundreds of
massacres were committed during a scorched earth campaign that
displaced approx. one million people, a tenth of the population of
Guatemala. Rothenberg received a grant from the Open Society to
fund translation of the report and a legal team to oversee the
editing and translation process. The final book will be
stylistically formal but by no means unreadable, Rothenberg will be
condensing this from hundreds of pages to about 200 pp which will
allow him to be selective about the material he includes and will
be editing out the UN style paragraphs which will should give the
book a narrative feel. It will include a preface by either
Rigoberta Menchu, a Guatemalan winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for
indigenous activist work, or Kofi Annan, a forward by the
Commissioner of the CEH, intro. by Rothenberg, and a conclusion by
Michael Ignatieff.
