In Adios Nino: The Gangs of Guatemala City and the Politics of
Death, Deborah T. Levenson examines transformations in the
Guatemalan gangs called Maras from their emergence in the 1980s to
the early 2000s. A historical study, Adios Nino describes how
fragile spaces of friendship and exploration turned into rigid and
violent ones in which youth, and especially young men, came to
employ death as a natural way of living for the short period that
they expected to survive. Levenson relates the stark changes in the
Maras to global, national, and urban deterioration; transregional
gangs that intersect with the drug trade; and the Guatemalan
military's obliteration of radical popular movements and of social
imaginaries of solidarity. Part of Guatemala City's reconfigured
social, political, and cultural milieu, with their members often
trapped in Guatemala's growing prison system, the gangs are used to
justify remilitarization in Guatemala's contemporary postwar,
post-peace era. Portraying the Maras as microcosms of broader
tragedies, and pointing out the difficulties faced by those youth
who seek to escape the gangs, Levenson poses important questions
about the relationship between trauma, memory, and historical
agency.
