In this engaged critique of the geopolitics of knowledge, Egla
Martinez Salazar examines the genocide and other forms of state
terror such as racialized feminicide and the attack on Maya
childhood, which occurred in Guatemala of the 1980s and '90s with
the full support of Western colonial powers. Drawing on a careful
analysis of recently declassified state documents, thematic life
histories, and compelling interviews with Maya and Mestizo women
and men survivors, Martinez Salazar shows how people resisting
oppression were converted into the politically abject. At the
center of her book is an examination of how coloniality survives
colonialism-a crucial point for understanding how contemporary
hegemonic practices and ideologies such as equality, democracy,
human rights, peace, and citizenship are deeply contested terrains,
for they create nominal equality from practical social inequality.
While many in the global North continue to enjoy the benefits of
this domination, millions, if not billions, in both the South and
North have been persecuted, controlled, and exterminated during
their struggles for a more just world.
