Abstract

The article "Maya Testimonies in the Archive: Violence, Linguistics, and Historical Memory" discusses the experiences of Maya genocide survivors in Guatemala, focusing on the impact of Spanish invasion and state violence. It highlights the importance of linguistic analysis in understanding Maya cultural identity and resistance. The testimonies challenge linear concepts of time and emphasize the enduring trauma of genocide survivors. The research aims to promote Indigenous representation and cultural revitalization, advocating for equality and self-determination for Maya communities. [Extracted from the article]
