What circumstances lead writers in a poor, multiethnic and largely illiterate country to produce a literature that both expresses and affects opposition to the regime? Who are these writers? This study examines these and other questions about the literature of resistance in Guatemala, from the days of Estrada Cabrera up to the events of May and June of 1993. Zimmerman provides the cultural context for the various modes of literary production and analysis, and identifies the currents of opposition in the nations fiction, poetry, and testimonial writing. He details the cultural politics involving Guatemalan writers and their organizations during their years of Cerezo and SerranoElas, paying particular attention to the role of women and indigenous groups, Rigoberta Mench among them. These two volumes are companion texts to Guatemala: Voices from the Silence, an epiccollage of writings compiled by Zimmerman and Ral Rojas.
