A contemporary history of Guatemala's thirty-year civil war--the
longest and bloodiest in the hemisphere--this book pulls aside the
veil of secrecy that has obscured the origins of the war. Using a
structural analysis that takes critical events and changes in the
nation's economic and social structure as a starting point for
understanding its political crises, the author unravels the
contradictions of Guatemalan politics and illustrates why, in the
face of unmatched military brutality and repeated U.S.
interventions, popular and revolutionary movements have arisen time
and again. The central protagonists in the turbulent battle for
Guatemala--rebels, death squads, and the United States--are
evaluated in a dynamic framework that highlights the role of
indigenous peoples and women and underscores the articulation of
ethnic and gender divisions with class divisions. This book's
interdisciplinary approach differentiates it from others in English
and makes it an invaluable case study on the internal dynamics of
Third World revolution and counterrevolution as well as on issues
of human rights and U.S. policy in Central America.
