This volume contains 14 chapters that demonstrate how scientists like forensic anthropologists, law enforcement agents, and researchers from North America, Asia, Europe, and South America find and identify persons missing due to armed conflict, repressive regimes, criminal behavior, mass fatality incidents, structural violence, and the legacy of racist colonial policies toward indigenous people and minority populations. The first section discusses Fist Nations persons in Canada who died in or disappeared from residential schools, the perspective of victim families and those who do identification work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the efforts of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Latin America, missing persons in Spain, indigenous families of victims in Guatemala, and the concept of museum skeletons as missing persons. The second section addresses methods for finding and identifying the missing, including historical investigation, interviewing, geographic tools, identifying human remains, and using cultural objects as evidence.
