Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1981 and 1996, the Guatemalan military maintained a paramilitary system of "civil patrols" throughout rural Guatemala. During the years of 1982-1983, the period of most intense state violence during the Guatemalan civil war, the military systematically committed massacres in hundreds of rural communities, at times committing acts of genocide against the Maya populations of the affected areas. Following this violence, the military forced nearly every rural community to form a civil patrol composed of the community’s adult men, in turn forcing each patrols’ members to augment military operations and personally fight leftist guerrillas. The creation of civil patrols in an atmosphere of intense state violence restructured the foundations of the relationship between state, rural and Maya societies within Guatemala, and largely contributed to the profound and continuous violations of the human rights of peasants and Mayas between 1981 and 1996. This thesis analyses these processes and phenomena, with a particular focus on the racial dynamics of repression and violence.

Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses violence against neighbors and civil war the context of Guatemala's internal armed conflict in the early 1980s. Embroiled in a counterinsurgency war against guerrilla rebel armies, the Guatemalan state-military committed mass state violence against civilians it suspected of being "subversives" and guerrillas. A major tool in this state violence was the "civil defense patrols," forcibly recruited indigenous and campesino (peasant) men into rural militias on the side of the state. But in the aftermath of a genocide against Guatemala's indigenous population, many of these "forced participants" had blood on their hands. How did Guatemalans turn against their own people? This dissertation argues that, coupled with the overwhelming pressure to follow orders, perpetrators and victims acted in subtle and explicit ways to negotiate the terms of forced participation, to carry out orders to commit violence, or to resist them in some way. More than just robotically following orders, civil patrollers found ways to affirm or negate the lives of their neighbors and innocent civilians. When they did, they based their actions on Army protocols as well as their own interpretations of them, their own meanings, and their own "cultural logics" rooted in their local context

Download or read book The Guatemalan Military Project written by Jennifer Schirmer and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1999, the Guatemala truth commission issued its report on human rights violations during Guatemala's thirty-six-year civil war that ended in 1996. The commission, sponsored by the UN, estimates the conflict resulted in 200,000 deaths and disappearances. The commission holds the Guatemalan military responsible for 93 percent of the deaths. In The Guatemalan Military Project, Jennifer Schirmer documents the military's role in human rights violations through a series of extensive interviews striking in their brutal frankness and unique in their first-hand descriptions of the campaign against Guatemala's citizens. High-ranking officers explain in their own words their thoughts and feelings regarding violence, political opposition, national security doctrine, democracy, human rights, and law. Additional interviews with congressional deputies, Guatemalan lawyers, journalists, social scientists, and a former president give a full and balanced account of the Guatemalan power structure and ruling system. With expert analysis of these interviews in the context of cultural, legal, and human rights considerations, The Guatemalan Military Project provides a successful evaluation of the possibilities and processes of conversion from war to peace in Latin America and around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1960 and 1996, Guatemala's civil war claimed 250,000 lives and displaced one million people. Since the peace accords, Guatemala has struggled to address the legacy of war, genocidal violence against the Maya, and the dismantling of alternative projects for the future. War by Other Means brings together new essays by leading scholars of Guatemala from a range of geographical backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives. Contributors consider a wide range of issues confronting present-day Guatemala: returning refugees, land reform, gang violence, neoliberal economic restructuring, indigenous and women's rights, complex race relations, the politics of memory, and the challenges of sustaining hope. From a sweeping account of Guatemalan elites' centuries-long use of violence to suppress dissent to studies of intimate experiences of complicity and contestation in richly drawn localities, War by Other Means provides a nuanced reckoning of the injustices that made genocide possible and the ongoing attempts to overcome them.
