"Falcon writes from the heart. Intimately disarming and highly accessible, Human Rights Counterpublics in Peru productively reframes Peru's incomplete transitional justice process, with clear global implications. This remarkable decolonial feminist journey through artist and activist memory recovery reveals the transformative potential of human rights counterpublics." --Pascha Bueno-Hansen, author of Feminist and Human Rights Struggles in Peru
