Hernández, Ester E.
- Abstract
Irina Carlota Silber's ethnography, "After Stories: Transnational Intimacies of Postwar El Salvador," focuses on her fieldwork in Chalatenango, El Salvador. Silber examines the experiences of the 1.5 insurgent generation, who have moved from Chalatenango to various locations in the United States. The book explores themes of violence, trauma, disability, and the preservation of objects from the war. Silber emphasizes the importance of testimonial practices and critical reflexivity in her research. The book provides valuable insights into migration, gendered resistance, and the resilience of individuals and communities in the face of ongoing insecurity.
