Honorable Mention for Best Book Award from the Historia Reciente y Memoria Section of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) Memories before the State examines the discussions and debates surrounding the creation of the Place of Memory, Tolerance, and Social Inclusion (LUM), a national museum in Peru that memorializes the country’s internal armed conflict of the 1980s and 1990s. Emerging from a German donation that the Peruvian government initially rejected, the Lima-based museum project experienced delays, leadership changes, and limited institutional support as planners and staff devised strategies that aligned the LUM with a new class of globalized memorial museums and responded to political realities of the country’s postwar landscape. The book analyzes forms of authority that emerge as an official institution seeks to incorporate and manage diverse perspectives on recent violence.
This is the first English-language book to provide a critical panorama of the last twenty years of Peruvian cinema. Through analysis of the nation’s diverse modes of filmmaking, it offers an insight into how global debates around cinema are played out on and off screen in a distinctive national context. The insertion of post-conflict Peru within neoliberalism resulted in widespread commodification of all areas of life, significantly impacting cinema culture. Consequently, the principal structural concept of this collection is the interplay between film production and market forces, an interaction which makes dynamism and instability the defining features of 21st-century Peruvian cinema.

¿Organización política, o banda criminal? ¿Revolucionarios equivocados pero legítimos, o meros sembradores de odio y destrucción? A más de dos décadas de su derrota, la sombra del senderismo sigue merodeando la vida peruana. Derrotados sus últimos remanentes, encerrados acaso de por vida sus dirigentes, de múltiples maneras emerge la memoria de su infausto accionar. De las tempranas crónicas periodísticas a los sofisticados estudios actuales, al menos tres generaciones de investigadores han explorado las diversas facetas de su irrupción. Dynnik Rodolfo Asencios intenta ahora identificar y comprender, a partir de los relatos de vida de un determinado grupo de jóvenes, las explicaciones que tuvieron para ingresar al PCP-SL. En esta perspectiva, se exponen aspectos poco conocidos, como la vida cotidiana dentro de la organización, sobre todo a partir de la incorporación de una variedad de jóvenes urbanos en la etapa 1989-1992 y que, ciertamente, fue la más convulsionada del conflicto, tal como lo señala la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación.
