描述 | .This bookrigorously documents and explains the genocide perpetrated by the Guatemalanstate against indigenous Maya populations within the context of itscounterinsurgency campaign against leftist guerrillas between 1981 and 1983.In doing so it brings to light a genocide that has remained largely invisiblewithin both academic disciplines and the practitioner sphere. ..In May2013, former de facto president of Guatemala, General Efrain Rios Montt, wasfor ten days indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity withinGuatemala’s domestic courts. Based upon over a decade of ethnographicresearch, including in survivors’ communities in Guatemala, this bookdocuments the historical processes shaping the genocide by analysing theevolution of both counterinsurgent and insurgent violence and strategy,focusing above all on its impact upon the civilian population. The researchclearly evidences the impact of political violence upon non-combatants; howmilitary and insurgent strategies gradually implicate civilians in conflictand the strategies civilians may adopt in order to survive them. Convincinglyframed within key theoretical scholarship from genocide studies andcomparative politics it speak |
