Hospitality is the act of being friendly and welcoming to guests and visitors, offering a person a home away from home. It usually implies a series of procedures that regulate encounters and how people develop a rapport. The female elder of a Wao tribe in Ecuador once explained to me how hospitality works: "This is what we do now so that you coming from afar say 'this is good' and then you do the same thinking in us. Likewise, you behave in a certain way so that we say 'this is good' and then do as you did thinking in you."
Here, we explore the different aspects of hospitality as a way of bringing people together and as a means for justice. Technically, it is a non-formal means of justice, working as memory, oral history, and recognition.
