{"product_id":"out-of-the-shadow-julie-gibbings-9781477320853","title":"Out of the Shadow: Revisiting the Revolution from Post-Peace Guatemala","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuatemala's \"Ten Years of Spring\" (1944-1954) began when citizens overthrew a military dictatorship and ushered in a remarkable period of social reform. This decade of progressive policies ended abruptly when a coup d'騁at, backed by the United States at the urging of the United Fruit Company, deposed a democratically elected president and set the stage for a period of systematic human rights abuses that endured for generations. Presenting the research of diverse anthropologists and historians, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new examination of this pivotal chapter in Latin American history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshaling information on regions that have been neglected by other scholars, such as coastlines dominated by people of African descent, the contributors describe an era when Guatemalan peasants, Maya and non-Maya alike, embraced change, became landowners themselves, diversified agricultural production, and fully engaged in electoral democracy. Yet this volume also sheds light on the period's atrocities, such as the US Public Health Service's medical experimentation on Guatemalans between 1946 and 1948. Rethinking institutional memories of the Cold War, the book concludes by considering the process of translating memory into possibility among present-day urban activists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Gibbings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477320857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477320853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.20w x 1.40d","brand":"Julie Gibbings","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986446221567,"sku":"9781477320853","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_79dd3249-e159-471e-9117-62275b31b975.jpg?v=1683283390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-of-the-shadow-julie-gibbings-9781477320853","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
