"The university became an important space of state formation in Guatemala throughout the twentieth century and a key battlefield during the Cold War. Yet, in a thick literature that has overwhelmingly prioritized rural and indigenous uprisings during this period, little attention has been given to urban students.

Produktbeschreibung
"The university became an important space of state formation in Guatemala throughout the twentieth century and a key battlefield during the Cold War. Yet, in a thick literature that has overwhelmingly prioritized rural and indigenous uprisings during this period, little attention has been given to urban students. Heather Vrana does just that in a fascinating and valuable work."--Jaime M. Pensado, author of Rebel Mexico: Student Unrest and Authoritarian Political Culture during the Long Sixties "With this work, Vrana provides a new window on the making of contemporary Guatemala and goes far beyond a narrowly focused study of student politics. This is an important and intelligent book."-- J.T. Way, author of The Mayan in the Mall: Globalization, Development, and the Making of Modern Guatemala "This is a nuanced, thoughtful, and theoretically sophisticated work. Its focus on intellectual life and practice fills a large gap in understanding the history of Guatemala, and its impact will be felt widely. It illuminates the role of students, the university, nationalism, and spectacular mourning over a century of liberal republicanism, genocide, and neoliberalism. Vrana gracefully weaves the role of scholars into the production of the modern nation-state by examining philosophy, affect, and contradictions, and powerfully evokes young people's clear-eyed strategizing and their poignant idealism in struggles for social change."--Diane M. Nelson, author of Reckoning: The Ends of War in Guatemala
