This article draws from a larger case study with a female war survivor from the Department of Ayacucho. By highlighting the challenges survivors face in accessing reparations, this research illustrates how a lack of judicial accountability, scarcity of resources applied to reparations, politicized narrative surrounding victimhood, and failure to adequately reconcile with the past, exacerbates marginalization that prompted the war and undermines the CVR's goal of transitional justice.</p>","PeriodicalId":45512,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology","volume":"27 4","pages":"540-549"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86219306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He completed important works on Cuban culture, trace evidence of which appears in his personal papers that are divided into specific segments: scientific, cultural promotion and improvement of the nation, as he would categorize them. Ortiz, trained as a lawyer but self-taught in social sciences, made important contributions to the study of ethnogenesis of Cuba, especially among marginalized population: the pre-Colombian indigenous populations, the Chinese, and the Afro-Cubans. Using Ortiz's personal funds located in archives in Cuba, Europe, and the United States, I offer this example of an Anthropology of the South that evidences Ortiz's participation in numerous scientific and cultural companies in the Ibero-American space and in others, during the first six decades of the 20th century.

This article challenges this narrative on a number of points, drawing on oral histories and ethnographic research. I look at how the assumption of homogenous African and Indian groupings ignores important differences of class and political ideology that disrupt racial essentialism and create what I have called “altered solidarities.” I argue that dominant postcolonial frameworks of creole nationalism, state multiculturalism, and securitization in the Anglophone Caribbean have been unable to recognize these alternate solidarities in the region.
