ISBN: 9780822324959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Over the latter half of the twentieth century, the Guatemalan state slaughtered more than two hundred thousand of its citizens.

In The Blood of Guatemala Greg Grandin locates the origins of this ethnic resurgence within the social processes of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century state formation rather than in the ruins of the national project of recent decades.
Focusing on Mayan elites in the community of Quetzaltenango,... Over the latter half of the twentieth century, the Guatemalan state slaughtered more than two hundred thousand of its citizens. In the wake of this vi...
