Ex-President Pedro Castillo is in jail, his VP Boluarte, now President, has declared a state of emergency, people are in the streets and are being killed by security forces. Norm Stockwell and Marc Becker have been following news accounts and since Dr. Burt’s research focuses on political violence, human rights, and transitional justice in post-conflict societies, especially Peru and Guatemala, we invited her to discuss the situation in Peru mid-December 2022.
Marc Becker, Professor of History/Latin American Studies at Truman State University and Norman Stockwell, publisher of The Progressive magazine speak with Jo-Marie Burt, Associate Professor of Political Science at the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University and currently vice-president of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA).
