Between 1944 and 1996, Guatemala experienced a revolution,
counterrevolution, and civil war. Playing a pivotal role within
these national shifts were students from Guatemala's only public
university, the University of San Carlos (USAC). USAC students
served in, advised, protested, and were later persecuted by the
government, all while crafting a powerful student nationalism. In
no other moment in Guatemalan history has the relationship between
the university and the state been so mutable, yet so mutually
formative. By showing how the very notion of the middle class in
Guatemala emerged from these student movements, this book places an
often-marginalized region and period at the center of histories of
class, protest, and youth movements and provides an entirely new
way to think about the role of universities and student bodies in
the formation of liberal democracy throughout Latin America.
