El Norte or Bust! How Migration Fever and Microcredit Produced a Financial Crash in a Latin American Town by David Stoll: Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield, 2013. 296 pp
Guatemalans in New England: Transnational Communities through Time and Space
The Guatemalan diaspora has come to form a significant part of the New England landscape and economy since the mid-1980s. This article describes the changes observed by the authors over the past 15 years in the area's Maya communities, focusing both on deleterious processes such as the mass deportations of the Obama period, as well as on the development of new, positive transnational communication modes, and commenting as well on the role of anth…
Look Me in the Eye: Empathy and the Transmission of Trauma in the Refugee Determination Process
Debates between refugee advocates, institutional actors and the wider public regarding refugee claimants often evoke anger, fear and sadness, as well as more positive emotions such as compassion, suggesting a complex societal emotional response toward refugee stories. This article analyses the emotional interactions surrounding refugee determination hearings, as reflected in the discourse of administrative judges and refugees. Our results show th…
Local Narratives of Distress and Resilience: Lessons in Psychosocial Well-Being among the K'iche' Maya in Postwar Guatemala
En Guatemala, las intervenciones psicosociales son fundamentales para el proceso de reconstrucción posguerra, pero la definición y comprensión de las nociones de angustia y bienestar en las comunidades indígenas sigue siendo problemática. Este artículo propone que, a fin de evitar la victimización o la generalización hacia las cuestiónes de salud mental en épocas de posguerra, tales intervenciones deben tener en cuenta los discursos individuales …
After the NGO's departure: Changing memory strategies of young mayan refugees who returned to Guatemala as a community
The collective return of refugees to their country of origin is a challenge for youths who have spent most of their lives in exile. In 1996, a research project concerning young Mayan refugees who returned from Mexico to Guatemala in 1993 suggested that international aid and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) influenced the memory strategies chosen by the young returnees, and shaped their narratives about the past. The aim of the present articl…

Going Home: Giving Voice to Memory Strategies of Young Mayan Refugees Who Returned to Guatemala as a Community
Analyse multidisciplinaire du processus décisionnel de la Cisr
The refugee determination process is one of the most complex judicial functions in our societies. Decision makers involved in this process require a sufficient knowledge of the cultural, social, and political environment of the country of origin, a capacity to bear the psychological weight of difficult hearings and potentially life-threatening decisions, and an ability to deal with complex legal issues and evidence. In Canada, despite a relativel…
Cacophony of Voices: A K'iche' Mayan Narrative of Remembrance and Forgetting
This article analyzes the links and cleavages between collective and individual memory processes following a situation of war and terror. Nearly two decades after the most brutal period of Guatemala's 36-year civil war, the notions of 'memory' and 'truth' have become critical socio-political issues; institutional memory projects have taken an important place in the peace process and in Mayanist political struggles. For many Mayan Indians, however…
