Victoria Sanford, a professor of anthropology, sheds light on the feminicide of Claudina Isabel Velásquez, a 19-year-old law student from Guatemala, almost two decades after her tragic murder. In her new book, "Textures of Terror, The Murder of Claudina Isabel Velásquez and Her Father's Quest for Justice," Sanford chronicles Claudina's father struggle, who seeks justice for his daughter's murder in a judicial system that is unlikely to provide it. The book delves into the terror Guatemalan women experience daily, living on the "uncertain and hazy frontiers of life and death." Sanford also exposes the hostile environment where "corruption and impunity form the vortex of violence against women in Guatemala." Through her research, Sanford brings to light the systemic issues perpetuating gender-based violence and the struggles of families seeking justice for their loved ones.
