Following Huyssen's assertion in Present Pasts that the purpose of memory is to "break out of traumatic repetitions" (9) and imagine new beginnings, my dissertation examines civil war sites in Guatemala and Spain, as well as contemporary texts from both nations, to explore how they reveal the past, draw attention to historical memories, and ponder a path for moving forward. The memory sites that I discuss include a massacre tour offered by the Maya Achi in Baja Verapaz, Guatemala; the Forensic Anthropology Museum (el Museo de la Fundacion de Antropologia Forense) in Guatemala City; The Valley of the Fallen in the Cuelgamuros Valley of Spain; and the Mass Grave of Oviedo in Asturias, Spain. Although memory sites in Spain and Guatemala have challenged the nations' official histories of their recent pasts, there is continued contention about their meaning, as both states are reluctant to acknowledge and address the massive scale and scope of human rights violations for which they were responsible. Despite the resistance, in both nations, groups representing the vanquished continue to enunciate their memories in search of official recognition and justice. After years of being silenced by state repression and fear, these groups are thankful for small and partial victories and simply, that their stories are being told.
