Although the Guatemalan Civil War ended more than two decades ago,
its bloody legacy continues to resonate even today. In Silenced
Communities, author Marcia Esparza offers an ethnographic account
of the failed demilitarization of the rural militia in the town of
Santo Tomás Chichicastenango following the conflict. Combining
insights from postcolonialism, subaltern studies, and theories of
internal colonialism, Esparza explores the remarkable resilience of
ideologies and practices engendered in the context of the Cold War,
demonstrating how the lingering effects of grassroots
militarization affect indigenous communities that continue to
struggle with inequality and marginalization.
