"Dying for the Dawn" offers an evocative, rigorous, and timely exploration of the multifaceted meanings and expressions of martyrdom in Latin America. Situating the region as a fertile terrain for examining the religious, social, and political forces that shape martyrial figures and narratives, the book illuminates how martyrdom continues to inform struggles over memory, justice, and political transformation. Highly interdisciplinary and accessible, the book establishes martyrdom as a vital lens for understanding Latin America’s histories of conflict, resistance, and social change.
