"Giovanni Batz's The Fourth Invasion is a wonderfully insightful and powerful book, which vividly captures the continuity of colonialism and the way the past presses on the future. I strongly recommend it."--Greg Grandin, author of The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America "Giovanni Batz has written a powerful, historically rooted analysis of present-day conflicts over land, culture, and citizenship in the rural highlands of Guatemala. An impressive example of engaged scholarship, The Fourth Invasion will shape thinking for years to come about Guatemalan history writ large and about the Indigenous communities who have resisted for centuries the external forces that have sought to eliminate them or force them into a state of permanent subjugation."--Jo-Marie Burt, Associate Professor, Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University "This brilliant book shows how colonial logics of extraction reach into the present, while also illuminating how Indigenous world-making ideas of time, space, and history shape contemporary resistance to megaprojects. Its deep and careful collaboration with Mayan communities in Guatemala is a model for scholars and activists alike."--Elizabeth Oglesby, coeditor of The Guatemala Reader: History, Culture, Politics "This extraordinary, detailed account of Maya-Ixil framings of five hundred years of struggle against colonial and postcolonial projects of dispossession is quite unlike most of what is written about Guatemala in anthropology. It is a remarkable achievement for the author and the Ixil communities with which he collaborates."--Carlota McAllister, coeditor of War by Other Means: Aftermath in Post-Genocide Guatemala
