ESPARZA, Marcia. In The Army Hands: Violence And Post War In Guatemala. anal.polit. [online]. 2007, vol.20, n.59, pp.75-86. ISSN 0121-4705.

The fratricide war between sectors of the Mayan population in Guatemala (1962-1996) and the permanent militarization has left sequels printed in the social tissue. In my research, that includes the work of field for La Comisión de la Verdad supported by the Nations United in that country (1997-1998), I was witness of the destruction of confidence bows and solidarity, key components in the support of the communal identity.. My study shows how the persistent militarization produces that the most impoverished sectors from the rural population, look for the Army like the guardian of its communities.

Palabras clave : Contemporary violence; Guatemala; military control; Maya communities.
