When Peruvian public intellectual Jose Carlos Aguero was a child,
the government imprisoned and executed his parents, who were
members of Shining Path. In The Surrendered-originally published in
Spanish in 2015 and appearing here in English for the first
time-Aguero reflects on his parents' militancy and the violence and
aftermath of Peru's internal armed conflict. He examines his
parents' radicalization, their lives as guerrillas, and his
tumultuous childhood, which was spent in fear of being captured or
killed, while grappling with the complexities of public memory,
ethics and responsibility, human rights, and reconciliation. Much
more than a memoir, The Surrendered is a disarming and moving
consideration of what forgiveness and justice might mean in the
face of hate. This edition includes an editors' introduction, a
timeline of the Peruvian conflict, and an extensive interview with
the author.
