"Interviews with more than 40 Guatemalan women in the late 1980s, all but two in Spanish (even though they were mostly ethnically indigenous). Notes that most successful interviews came when the subject herself 'directed' the process. Their voices tell a series of clear 'short stories' on wide array of themes, roughly grouped together under the headings of work, being Indian, family, and resistance"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/

Guatemalan Women Speak

Margaret Hooks

Social Sciences

This is an anthology of conversations with women who lived through El Salvador's bloody civil war.Here, in their own words, women reveal how they are coming to terms with their memories of war, death squads and disappearances, and how they are using those memories to shape a new theology and work for a better future.Women from Christian communities, women's groups and political organisations describe their need to 're-member' what has been 'dis-membered' in the violence of war. They show how it is possible, through remembrance, to effect spiritual and physical healing. Their courage and hope are inspirational.

The Globalization of Hope is the fruit of eight years of work by EPICA staff on Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. The book charts a difficult transition in Central America from popular struggles for liberation to local struggles for survival. Neoliberalism's impact on the poor is examined, as is the struggle of the poor to develop a global alternative. The emergence of new social movements is highlighted, from the struggle for indigenous autonomy in Chiapas to the empowerment of women in the global economy. Human rights violations in Honduras and the victimization of Panamanians during the US invasion are discussed. The legacy of US intervention in Haiti and Cuba is outlined, as is the poltical economy of US-Mexican border policy. A final section highlights the need for a globalization from below.

We Make The Road By Walking is the fruit of eight years  of work by EPICA staff on Central America, Mexico and the  Caribbean. The book examines the role of liberation theology in the  new international context. It looks at the Church of the poor in a  postwar period in Nicargaua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The indigenous  face of the Church in Chiapas and the way women are transforming the  Church are highlighted. The defense of the rights of the poor in El  Salvador and recovery of historic memory in Guatemala offer hope and  challenge. The role of Haiti's "Little Church," and the new  relationship between Church and State in Cuba are outlined. The final  two sections illuminate the witness of martyrs, and they call for  solidarity for the new millennium, especially the Jubilee drive to  cancel debts.

In this remarkable collection of interviews Marie Racine has transformed herself into the mouthpiece for a generation of valiant Haitian women who, fortunately for the reading public, are silent no longer. These poignant stories of the daily struggle for a dignified existence in the hemisphere's poorest republic-a place regrettably forgotten by mainstream media except when hammered by political violence or natural disaster-are beautifully related and reflect a rare sensitivity on Racine's part, both as listener and writer.
