Overview
A special issue of WSQ that focuses on testimonio as a practice used by women from the Américas to claim their agency while challenging multiple forms of oppression.
Testimonio/s have evolved into different forms incorporating human rights discourse and varied standpoints, from individual testimonialistas, truth-tellers, knowledge holders, and “witness-observers” to feminist activists and collectives who denounce systemic violence against women and other marginalized communities throughout Latin America.
Works included in this issue use testimonio/s as a vessel to call for the recognition of people’s lived experiences; grievances; individual, gender, cultural, political, economic, collective, and human rights struggles; and triumphs in acts of bearing witness, testifying and recounting memories, and sharing origin and truth-telling stories.
