Download or read book Guatemalan Vigilantism and the Global Re Production of Collective Violence written by Gavin Weston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grounds an understanding of lynching as an increasingly globalised phenomenon through an examination of two cases in Guatemala. The chapters cover issues of migration, tourism, gangs, inter-generational conflict, media, gossip, and rumour to understand national and global patterns of mob-based vigilantism and how diverse factors are funnelled into singular acts of violence. Gavin Weston critically engages with the discussion of Guatemalan lynchings as a form of post-conflict violence alongside other less direct chains of causation. Lynchings have complex, tiered causations based in contestations regarding ideas and provision of justice. Underlying social problems and similarities in the way lynchings spread through talk and media make them relatively anticipatable in certain contexts and suggest possible spaces for mitigation against their viral spread. This volume will be relevant to Latin Americanists and those interested in the anthropology and sociology of violence, post-conflict violence, and peace studies.

Book excerpt: "This book is Henri Nouwen's account of his pilgrimage to Santiago Atitlan, a Mayan town deep in the highlands of Guatemala. There an American priest, Father Stanley Rother of Oklahoma City, was murdered by a death squad. In traveling to his parish Nouwen hoped to learn more about this modern martyr, about the faith that drew him there, and the love that held him there - even though his life was at risk. This richly illustrated new edition of Love in a Fearful Land appears on the 25th anniversary of Fr. Rother's death. In commemorating his witness, it also celebrates the truth that we are all, Christians North and South, members of the same Body of Christ."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Distilling the Influence of Alcohol written by David Carey Jr. and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sugar, coffee, corn, and chocolate have long dominated the study of Central American commerce, and researchers tend to overlook one other equally significant commodity: alcohol. Often illicitly produced and consumed, aguardiente (distilled sugar cane spirits or rum) was central to Guatemalan daily life, though scholars have often neglected its fundamental role in the country's development. Throughout world history, alcohol has helped build family livelihoods, boost local economies, and forge nations. The alcohol economy also helped shape Guatemala's turbulent categories of ethnicity, race, class, and gender, as these essays demonstrate. Established and emerging Guatemalan historians investigate aguardiente's role from the colonial era to the twentieth century, drawing from archival documents, oral histories, and ethnographic sources. Topics include women in the alcohol trade, taverns as places of social unrest, and tension between Maya and State authority. By tracing Guatemala's past, people, and national development through the channel of an alcoholic beverage, Distilling the Influence of Alcohol opens new directions for Central American historical and anthropological research.
Download or read book Traditional Weavers of Guatemala written by Deborah Chandler and published by Schiffer + ORM. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of Guatemala, this book presents portraits of artisans working in the ancient traditions of the Maya paired with insights into the creation of the textiles and the events that have affected their work. Weaving, spinning, and basket making have sustained the Maya economically and culturally against the pressures of change and a 36-year civil war that decimated their population. Their persistence in continuing traditional art has created some of the loveliest, most colorful textiles the world has ever known. Artisans share their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with the products of their hands and looms. Their stories show determination in the face of unimaginable loss and hardship which instill an appreciation for the textiles themselves and for the strong people who create them.

Book excerpt: This story-a first-person, present-tense narrative-begins in El Salvador and culminates in a Guatemalan pueblo, Santiago AtitlAn, inhabited by the Naturales, Guatemala's Indians. The story takes the reader through one of the most repressive and turbulent eras in Guatemala's history, beginning in 1973 through 1994* when the Peace Accords were signed by the ruling government and the United Guerrilla Party of Guatemala (URNG) in neighboring Mexico. Through a series of episodes, sometimes humorous, but more frequently tragic, the author learns that there are really two Guatemalas-the Guatemala presented to the tourists in the pretty travelogues, and the real Guatemala, where disease and poverty abound, where repression is at its worst in the Western Hemisphere. The governmental abuses are intended to keep the "status quo" intact and to prevent any possible uprising within the country, but as with all abuses of repressive regimes, the terror inflicted on the Guatemalan citizens have resulted only in continuing chaos. While walking down the scenic path of Panajachel, the lake's leading tourist town, the author discovers that she, too, has somehow been made an enemy of Guatemala. *The Peace Accords signed in 1994 were a political failure, and it was not until December 29, 1996, that the ruling government, its military and the guerrillas reached an agreement to end the conflict which will greatly determine whether Guatemala will be able to know a real peace without further blood-spilling in her cornfields.
