Since the triumph of Castro, politicians and historians have accused the left there of rejecting democracy, embracing communist totalitarianism, and prompting both revolutionary violence and a right-wing backlash. Through unprecedented archival research and gripping personal testimonies, the author challenges these views. In doing so, he uncovers the hidden history of the Latin American Cold War: of hidebound reactionaries holding on to their power and privilege; of Mayan Marxists blending indigenous notions of justice with universal ideas of equality; and of a United States supporting new styles of state terror throughout the region. 651 0 $a Guatemala $x History $y 1945-1985. 651 0 $a Guatemala $x History $y 1821-1945. 650 0 $a PanzoÌs Massacre, PanzoÌs, Guatemala, 1978. 650 0 $a Indians of Central America $z Guatemala $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Communism $z Guatemala $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Insurgency $z Guatemala $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Social conflict $z Guatemala $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Latin America. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Relations $z United States. 648 7 $a 1821 - 1999 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20150602032603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0EDBCCC08ED11E5A7E811F2DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
