Terror in the Land of the Holy Spirit

Guatemala under General Efrain Rios Montt 1982-1983

Omschrijving

Between 1982 and 1983, the military government of Guatemala waged a scorched-earth campaign of terror against largely Mayan rural communities. Drawing on newly-available primary sources including guerrilla documents, evangelical pamphlets, speech transcripts, and declassified US government records, Virginia Garrard-Burnett provides a fine-grained picture of what happened during the rule of Guatelaman president-by-coup Efra¿R¿ Montt. She suggests thatthree decades of war engendered an ideology of violence that cut not only vertically, but also horizontally, across class, cultures, communities, religions, and even families.
