Informed by multi-sited anthropological fieldwork among displaced communities with experiences of militancy in the guerrilla organization Fuerzas Armadas Rebeldes, the book traces the contours of dispersed and intermittent guerrilla social relations, unraveling the gendered dimensions of guerrilla socialities and subjectivities in a local context marked by violence and rapid social change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters chart shifting regimes of governance in the northern departamento of Petén; the inception of violence and insurgency; guerrilla practices of naming and secret relations; moral orders based on sameness and sharing; and forms of relatedness, embodiment, and subjectivity among the combatants. The volume develops new critical idioms for grappling with partiality, perspective, and incompleteness in ethnography and contributes to new thinking on the anthropology of Guatemala. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSecrecy and Insurgency\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to social and cultural anthropologists, human geographers, and scholars in Latin American studies, human rights, women's studies, and gender studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Silvia Posocco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0817313591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817313593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015 pg. 1570","brand":"Silvia Posocco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086955786495,"sku":"9780817313593","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0934e20-dd84-4ba1-be24-19805c8a1fc0.jpg?v=1769097466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/secrecy-and-insurgency-silvia-posocco-9780817313593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
