Relating to Terror: Gender, Anthropology, Law, and Some September Elevenths
Author(s)Nelson, Diane M.
AbstractOn September 11, 1990 the Guatemalan anthropologist Myrna Mack Chang was assassinated in front of her office in Guatemala City. She was just one of several hundred thousand people killed in that country during 35 years of civil war. Drawing on the relation between that date and the more familiar September 11, 2001, in this essay I will relate (meaning to discuss and to connect) the terror events of recent months to anthropology, gender, and the law via a detour through Guatemala.
