A scandalous presence in the courtroom: Indigenous immigrant interpreters and the politics of language ideologies in US courts
This article analyzes how the experiences and observations of Indigenous people from Latin America who work as legal interpreters reveal the ways that the position of court interpreter is racialized. The meaning of the norms of the "invisibility" and "neutrality" of the interpreter and the role of the interpreter as erasing barriers become points of contestation in the context of interpreting Indigenous languages of Latin America, revealing the w…

Language, Culture, and Justice: Ixil Mayan Verbal Art in the 2013 Genocide Trial of José Efraín Ríos Montt in Guatemala

However, courtrooms are also among the spaces …

However, the trial was marked by difficulties in communication betw…

The long count of historical memory: Ixhil Maya ceremonial speech in Guatemala
Violence and death in Guatemala's recent war loom large in Ixhil Maya historical memory. Analyses of wartime memories have largely focused on overt political activism or on trauma and brokenness rather than on activities that many Maya consider crucial to community reconstruction. In the Ixhil region, where the deceased are active members of the community, one such activity is the ceremony for the reburial of war dead exhumed from clandestine gra…
