The last three decades of the twentieth century brought relentless
waves of death squads, political kidnappings, and other traumas to
the people of Guatemala. Many people fled the country to escape the
violence. Yet, at the same moment, a popular movement for justice
brought together unlikely bands of behind-the-scenes heroes,
blurring ethnic, geographic, and even class lines.
The Quiet Revolutionaries is drawn from interviews conducted by
Frank Afflitto in the early 1990s with more than eighty survivors
of the state-sanctioned violence. Gathered under frequently
life-threatening circumstances, the observations and recollections
of these inspiring men and women form a unique perspective on
collective efforts to produce change in politics, law, and public
consciousness. Examined from a variety of perspectives, from
sociological to historical, their stories form a rich ethnography.
While it is still too soon to tell whether stable, long-term
democracy will prevail in Guatemala, the successes of these
fascinating individuals provide a unique understanding of
revolutionary resistance.
