 Life
Out of Death:
The Feminine Spirit in El Salvador
By Marigold Best & Pamela Hussey
"Here is the word of Salvadoran women spoken with such direct
simplicity that the heart's door flings open, attentive. It is a redemptive
word that reveals the unfinished depth of the liberation process. Highly
recommended. - Renny Golden, author
of The Hour of the Poor, the Hour of Women: Salvadoran Women
Speak
In their own words, Salvadoran women narrate how they are coming to
terms with their memories of war, death squads and disappearances, and
how they are using these memories to shape a new theology and work for
a better future.
Women from Christian communities, women's groups and political organizations
"re-member" what has been "dis-membered" in the
violence of war, and they show how it is possible, through remembrance,
to effect spiritual and physical healing. Their courage and hope are
inspirational!

Mayan Ixil Women of Chajul
by The Association of Mayan Ixil Women (ADMI) and M.
Brinton Lykes
"Like a flower lashed by the wind's fury, like
the passionate light of thunder, like the insatiable thirst of fire,
like us, as we are, these stories tell a part of the difficult and tragic
history of the Guatemalan 20th century. Here, with the saturated clarity
of water, the words weave together and form memory's river that carries
in its currents, cries, terror and fear, but also the courage of thousands
of women and men who suffered, endured and resisted the terrible events
of the past quarter century. - Gerardo Guinea Diez
Guatemalan women interviewed and photographed other Guatemalan
women in a collaborative eight-year effort to preserve the stories of
their generation - the state-sponsored violence and extreme poverty
that has ravaged their lives. Taste and see how these women have chosen
to re-story their experiences of trauma and to create hopeful options
for the future.
