Urban Guerrilla vs Citizens Revolution: The Ecuadorian Dilemma at
the Turn of the Century examines how trauma and modernity affected
the daily lives of Ecuadorian guerrilla activists. Utilizing oral
histories and archival study, this book describes the lives of
activists in the Ecuadorian guerrilla group ¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo!.
Dr. Nicolas Buckley demonstrates not only how these AVC
activist’s life stories reveal their traumas, but also how their

colonial past. Further, Dr. Buckley explores two identities that
emerged in Latin America, the “mestizo†versus the
“indigenous.â€

language, culture, performance, translation, and political
instability - David Carey Jr. provides guidance for those
conducting oral history research in the postcolonial world. In
regions such as Latin America, where nations that have been
subjected to violent colonial and neocolonial forces continue to

Drawing on years of research among the Maya, David Carey documents
the role of women in modern Mayan Communities. The text presents
the fascinating oral histories of women as told in their native
language, Kaqchikel, covering their views on education, labour,
work in the home, female leadership, and globalization. Significant
events in Mayan history are explored, focusing on their importance
to women and how the inherent gender differences in Mayan society
impact on their historical perspectives approaches to recording
history. This intimate view of modern Mayan history reveals the
extent to which women's diligence and creativity has provided them
with increased autonomy in their society, bolstered their earnings,
and helped them to assert their indispensable roles within
communities. One of the first books to present the history of Mayan
women in their own voices, this text will be of interest to
students and scholars of anthropology, history and gender studies.

This is the story of financial revolution. The book is insightful
and hard-hitting, filled with never-before-revealed details about
the workings of a hitherto secretive company.
Populated by curanderos, midwives, bonesetters, witches, doctors,
nurses, and the indigenous people they served, this nuanced history
demonstrates how cultural and political history, misogyny, racism,
and racialization influence public health. In the first half of the
twentieth century, the governments of Ecuador and Guatemala sought
to spread scientific medicine to their populaces, working to
prevent and treat malaria, typhus, and typhoid; to boost infant and
maternal well-being; and to improve overall health. Â Drawing
on extensive, original archival research, David Carey Jr. shows
that highland indigenous populations in the two countries tended to
embrace a syncretic approach to health, combining traditional and
new practices. At times, both governments encouraged—or at least
allowed—such a synthesis: even what they saw as "nonscientific"
care was better than none. Yet both, especially Guatemala's, also
wrote off indigenous lifeways and practices with both explicit and
implicit racism, going so far as to criminalize native medical
providers and to experiment on indigenous people without their
consent. Both nations had authoritarian rule, but Guatemala's was
outright dictatorial, tending to treat both women and indigenous
people as subjects to be controlled and policed. Ecuador, on the
other hand, advanced a more pluralistic vision of national unity,
and had somewhat better outcomes as a result.

According to media reports, Latin America is one of the most
violent regions in the world - a distinction it held throughout the
twentieth century. The authors of Violence and Crime in Latin
America contend that perceptions and representations of violence
and crime directly impact such behaviors, creating profound
consequences for the political and social fabric of Latin American
nations. Written by distinguished scholars of Latin American
history, sociology, anthropology, and political science, the essays
in this volume range from Mexico and Argentina to Colombia and
Brazil in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, addressing such
issues as extralegal violence in Mexico, the myth of indigenous
criminality in Guatemala, and governments' selective blindness to
violent crime in Brazil and Jamaica. The authors in this collection
examine not only the social construction and political visibility
of violence and crime in Latin America, but the justifications for
them as well. Analytically and historically, these essays show how
Latin American citizens have sanctioned criminal and violent
practices and incorporated them into social relations, everyday
practices, and institutional settings. At the same time, the
authors explore the power struggles that inform distinctions
between illegitimate versus legitimate violence. Violence and Crime
in Latin America makes a substantive contribution to understanding
a key problem facing Latin America today. In its historical depth
and ethnographic reach, this original and thought-provoking volume
enhances our understanding of crime and violence throughout the
Western Hemisphere.
