Abstract
AbstractIn this article, we explore the intersection between resilience, resistance and gender in post-conflict Peru and the utilisation of memory in these processes. Drawing upon our extensive fieldwork with grass roots associations of indigenous Quechua women in Ayacucho, we examine how this group of women utilises memories of their resistance during the Peruvian armed conflict in order to cope with their current everyday conflicts and to re-affirm their new spaces of political participation in post-conflict struggles. By commemorating particular stories and places, these living memories play an important role in shaping their past, present and future. In particular, these stories shift the emphasis from women’s suffering during conflicts to their resistance and courage.
