- Title
At the Edge of the Peruvian Truth Commission: Alternative Paths to Recounting the Past.
- Authors
Milton, Cynthia E.
- Abstract
The article focuses on truth commissions, alternative historical sources in recounting the past, in Peru. Innovations of the Peruvian Commission for Truth and Reconciliation (CVR), including the incorporation of visual representation in telling a national narrative, are mentioned. It notes that public truth telling offers personal and social truths beyond official narratives. It adds that humorous accounts of the conflict in the country suggest alternative truth narratives to that of the CVR.
