内容説明

As a contemporary history of Guatemala's 30-year civil war - the longest and bloodiest in the hemisphere - this book aims to pull 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 sets out to unravel the contradictions of Guatemalan politics and to illustrate why, in the face of military brutality and repeated US interventions, popular and revolutionary movements have continually arisen. The central protagonists in the turbulent battle for Guatemala - rebels, death squads and the United States - are evaluated in a 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 provides a case study on the internal dynamics of Third World revolution and counter-revolution, as well as on issues of human rights and US policy in Central America.
