- This book draws on ten years of research carried out in Guatemala, Colombia and the USA. Includes interviews from three years of fieldwork carried out in rural indigenous communities, access to which was obtained after a long period of close collaboration with human rights advocates in Guatemala. Primary resources also include interviews with perpetrators of the political violence, government officials and members of the United Nations. The empirical data, in particular the interviews with survivors, is unique, and was subsequently used as evidence in the legal case against Guatemala’s former de-facto President, General Efrain Rios Montt.
