Paradise in Ashes by Beatriz Manz
Offers an account of the violence and repression that defined the murderous Guatemalan civil war of the 1980s. Drawing on interviews with peasants, community leaders, guerrillas, and paramilitary forces, the author creates a richly detailed political portrait of Santa Maria Tzeja, where highland Maya peasants seeking land settled in the 1970s.-
