This chapter compares and contrasts the experiences of “politics of memory ” in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala; the three Central American countries that during the 90s promoted official processes to investigate past human rights violations. It analyses the role that mobilizations around memory, truth and justice have played in the struggle for democratization.
