In doing so it brings to light a genocide that has remained largely invisible  within both academic disciplines and the practitioner sphere. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn May  2013, former de facto president of Guatemala, General Efrain Rios Montt, was  for ten days indicted for genocide and crimes against humanity within  Guatemala’s domestic courts. Based upon over a decade of ethnographic  research, including in survivors’ communities in Guatemala, this book  documents the historical processes shaping the genocide by analysing the  evolution of both counterinsurgent and insurgent violence and strategy,  focusing above all on its impact upon the civilian population. The research  clearly evidences the impact of political violence upon non-combatants; how  military and insurgent strategies gradually implicate civilians in conflict  and the strategies civilians may adopt in order to survive them. Convincingly  framed within key theoretical scholarship from genocide studies and  comparative politics it speaks to a broad audience beyond Latin Americanists.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-05-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137397669\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-39767-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 249\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752432857228,"sku":"9781137397669","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137397669.jpg?v=1776619390","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137397669","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
