| la masacre de texas historia real: El Mega Libro de las Ideas Equivocadas James Egan, 2018-04-06 El deporte más peligroso no es el fútbol americano. Es volar una cometa. El mapa del mundo es impreciso. Los silenciadores no existen. Todos pronuncian Monte Everest incorrectamente. El Viejo Oeste no era nada como lo imaginamos. Los Illuminati existieron durante solamente ocho años. Los satanistas no adoran a Satanás. A Abraham Lincoln no le importaba la gente de color. Amelia Earhart no desapareció misteriosamente. Egipto no tiene no la mayor cantidad de pirámides ni la más grande. La radiación no es peligrosa. No sabemos nada de los druidas. Las Cataratas del Niágara no son las más altas cascadas. Las Islas Canarias no se llaman así por los canarios. No todos los piratas eran criminales. Algunos de ellos eran agentes del gobierno. Los Rastafari no se llaman a sí mismos Rastafari. El sol no está ardiendo. Los amish (menonitas) sí usan electricidad. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: La verdadera historia de los hechos, de los hombres y mujeres delselvaje oeste Renato Coppola, 2024-03-13 Mi primer contacto con “Oeste” fue a través del filtro de las representaciones míticas. De estos, en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, películas del oeste (tengo unos 200) y cómics (en primer lugar Tex Willer) que eran mis lecturas diarias y las de casi todos los chicos nacidos en la década de 1940 y siguientes, eran el dispensador de historias del Lejano Oeste más grande del mundo. El Oeste de la historia, por tanto, será “cosa” de los Estados Unidos, mientras que el mítico Lejano Oeste es universal, al menos desde que el cine se unió a la literatura y al arte del siglo pasado. El Lejano Oeste de Buffalo Bill y Kit Carson, de los sioux y los apaches, de los potros y los winchester, de los vaqueros y de la vida al aire libre ha pertenecido durante mucho tiempo a nuestra cultura: se han convertido en figuras del habla, entidades legendarias. , primero y luego los históricos, de los que se sabe aun sin saber. El consumo cultural, como es sabido, ha vivido siempre de figuras emblemáticas: la ira de Aquiles y la astucia de Ulises, la locura de Orlando y la de Don Quijote, las dudas de Hamlet y los celos de Otelo, las flechas de Robin Hood y la espada de D'Artagnan y así sucesivamente. A veces, los estudios o el simple deseo de saber más llevan a ir más allá de la superficie. La modesta aportación que quiero destacar con este trabajo es comprobar, en la medida de lo posible, y mediante la lectura y coordinación de multitud de libros, artículos y documentos, la verdadera historia de Oeste, de sus hombres y de su To interpretar mejor este período tan particular de los Estados Unidos, pensé en acotar su historia en el tiempo desde 1803 (la compra del inmenso territorio de Luisiana a Francia) hasta 1890, año de la gran masacre de Wounded Knee que cerró para siempre las guerras fronterizas . |

| la masacre de texas historia real: Chain Saw Confidential Gunnar Hansen, 2013-09-24 When The Texas Chain Saw Massacre first hit movie screens in 1974 it was both reviled and championed. To critics, it was either a degrading, senseless misuse of film and time or an intelligent, absorbing and deeply disturbing horror film. However it was an immediate hit with audiences. Banned and celebrated, showcased at the Cannes film festival and included in the New York MoMA's collection, it has now come to be recognized widely as one of the greatest horror movies of all time. A six-foot-four poet fresh out of grad school with limited acting experience, Gunnar Hansen played the masked, chain-saw-wielding Leatherface. His terrifying portrayal and the inventive work of the cast and crew would give the film the authentic power of nightmare, even while the gritty, grueling, and often dangerous independent production would test everyone involved, and lay the foundations for myths surrounding the film that endure even today. Critically-acclaimed author Hansen here tells the real story of the making of the film, its release, and reception, offering unknown behind-the-scenes details, a harrowingly entertaining account of the adventures of low-budget filmmaking, illuminating insights on the film's enduring and influential place in the horror genre and our culture, and a thoughtful meditation on why we love to be scared in the first place. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia del salvaje Oeste John C.R. Bell, 2023-06-08 «America, land of opportunity», ¿cuándo se forjó la leyenda? ¿Qué empujó a hombres, mujeres y niños a emigrar por miles a la costa del Pacífico? ¿Le suenan los nombres de Jesse James, Toro Sentado y Buffalo Bill? ¿Cómo prosperaron Luzena Wilson o Belinda Mulrooney? ¿Qué se escondía tras el oro de las minas de Colorado? ¿Cuál era realmente la ley de la frontera? ¿De qué modo defendieron los lakota las Colinas Negras frente a los crow y los invasores blancos? ¿Sabía que aquí nació la barbacoa moderna y que un español fue el primer foráneo en hablar de ella? ¿John Wayne o Clint Eastwood: qué hay de cierto en la imagen que nos ha llegado de los vaqueros? Además de la afición al póquer y los rodeos, ¿qué legó el Oeste a los Estados Unidos? La historia del lejano Oeste permanece envuelta en las brumas del mito y la ficción, y la naturaleza turbulenta y salvaje de este tiempo de asaltos a trenes, violentos tiroteos, peligrosos arreos de ganado y mortales emboscadas indias no parece alejarse mucho de esa idea literaria. Pero ¿qué fue de verdad aquel mundo aparte más allá del Misisipi? Nada más y nada menos que la tierra donde hundió sus raíces el sueño americano. Tras «Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de los Estados Unidos de América», siguiendo el rastro de sus antepasados, el californiano John C. R. Bell se sumerge en el apasionante relato de los aspectos más desconocidos del primigenio Wild West. Rescata las crónicas de los periódicos, explora los primeros testimonios y hasta nos ofrece una receta al estilo de esas deliciosas barbacoas americanas. Sus palabras y sus fascinantes fotografías nos acercan la realidad de la que aún hoy es, quizá, la mayor aventura vivida por el hombre en busca de la fortuna. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Argentinian Telenovelas Gabriela Jonas Aharoni, 2015-07-01 This work explores the way in which telenovelas (TV serial dramas) give voice to contemporary and historical Argentinian social and political issues. Telenovelas have multiple layers of socio-cultural message -- local as well as global -- and are invariably laden with appealing drama and emotion, and sometimes comedy. The discussion focuses on how telenovelas reflect society's perception of, and adjustment toward, issues of globalisation. They are a means of portraying how individuals and families rationalize and incorporate rapid social and economic changes. The book explores how telenovelas might offer a subversive interpretation of reality; or provide a channel of dialogue with the government's political aims. The author challenges the assumption that they are merely a reflection of historical, political and social circumstance. One of the many telenovela examples addressed in this book is whether the serial Padre Coraje constructs a parallel between the current Kirchner government and that of Juan Peron, fifty years earlier. The serial explores the two leaders' relationship with the Church and implicitly presents President Kirchner as Peron's successor. Explaining telenovelas as cultural texts (they are not soap operas) provides the primary basis for this study, backed by Argentinian newspaper articles and secondary sources on Latin American history, culture and economy, as well as TV and cinema studies. The result is a more profound and nuanced interpretation than hitherto of Argentinian telenovelas. Analysis enables identification of the links between the serials' storylines and contemporary political and social events. These popular culture texts bring new meaning to the Argentinian historical narrative, and for TV viewers puts the processes and effects of economic and social globalisation on a local multi-cultural level perspective. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: War Against All Puerto Ricans Nelson A Denis, 2015-04-07 The powerful, untold story of the 1950 revolution in Puerto Rico and the long history of U.S. intervention on the island, that the New York Times says could not be more timely. In 1950, after over fifty years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down. In order to suppress this uprising, the US Army deployed thousands of troops and bombarded two towns, marking the first time in history that the US government bombed its own citizens. Nelson A. Denis tells this powerful story through the controversial life of Pedro Albizu Campos, who served as the president of the Nationalist Party. A lawyer, chemical engineer, and the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard Law School, Albizu Campos was imprisoned for twenty-five years and died under mysterious circumstances. By tracing his life and death, Denis shows how the journey of Albizu Campos is part of a larger story of Puerto Rico and US colonialism. Through oral histories, personal interviews, eyewitness accounts, congressional testimony, and recently declassified FBI files, War Against All Puerto Ricans tells the story of a forgotten revolution and its context in Puerto Rico's history, from the US invasion in 1898 to the modern-day struggle for self-determination. Denis provides an unflinching account of the gunfights, prison riots, political intrigue, FBI and CIA covert activity, and mass hysteria that accompanied this tumultuous period in Puerto Rican history. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: In Cold Blood Truman Capote, 2013-02-19 Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time From the Modern Library’s new set of beautifully repackaged hardcover classics by Truman Capote—also available are Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Other Voices, Other Rooms (in one volume), Portraits and Observations, and The Complete Stories Truman Capote’s masterpiece, In Cold Blood, created a sensation when it was first published, serially, in The New Yorker in 1965. The intensively researched, atmospheric narrative of the lives of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, and of the two men, Richard Eugene Hickock and Perry Edward Smith, who brutally killed them on the night of November 15, 1959, is the seminal work of the “new journalism.” Perry Smith is one of the great dark characters of American literature, full of contradictory emotions. “I thought he was a very nice gentleman,” he says of Herb Clutter. “Soft-spoken. I thought so right up to the moment I cut his throat.” Told in chapters that alternate between the Clutter household and the approach of Smith and Hickock in their black Chevrolet, then between the investigation of the case and the killers’ flight, Capote’s account is so detailed that the reader comes to feel almost like a participant in the events. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Juan Gregorio Palechor Myriam Jimeno, 2014-03-14 The Colombian activist Juan Gregorio Palechor (1923–1992) dedicated his life to championing indigenous rights in Cauca, a department in the southwest of Colombia, where he helped found the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca. Recounting his life story in collaboration with the Colombian anthropologist Myriam Jimeno, Palechor traces his political awakening, his experiences in national politics, the disillusionment that resulted, and his turn to a more radical activism aimed at confronting ethnic discrimination and fighting for indigenous territorial and political sovereignty. Palechor's lively memoir is complemented by Jimeno's reflections on autobiography as an anthropological tool and on the oppressive social and political conditions faced by Colombia's indigenous peoples. A faithful and fluent transcription of Palechor's life story, this work is a uniquely valuable resource for understanding the contemporary indigenous rights movements in Colombia. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: The First Texas Independence, 1813 José Antonio López, 2013-04-22 There were seven flags over Texas. The green flagit is the first flag of Texas independence. It is the spark that lit the revolt for liberty in our state. It started as a gentle glow of a peasants lantern. Then, it expanded to a beacons potent light; beckoning Don Bernardo led his army in answering the call for freedom. It was not a flag of conquest, but a flag of self-rule. It was not a flag to build an empire, but to end an unjust one. It was a precious flag, wrapping those who carried it with the ideals of equality. It was the first breath of a new life, the first step of a long journey, the sign of a new beginning. It is the green flag, the first flag of Texas independence. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: My Mother, a Serial Killer Hazel Baron, 2018-04-01 A gripping and shocking story of a serial killer mother, and the brave daughter who brought her to justice. Dulcie Bodsworth was the unlikeliest serial killer. She was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia, which she called home in the late 1950s, thought of her as kind and caring. The officers at the local police station found Dulcie witty and charming, and looked forward to the scones and cakes she generously baked and delivered for their morning tea. That was one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. And what she saw terrified her. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves - one of them the father of her four children, Ted Baron - in one of the most infamous periods of the state's history. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. Written by award-winning journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans together with Hazel Baron, My Mother, A Serial Killer is both an evocative insight into the harshness of life on the fringes of Australian society in the 1950s, and a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Matanza de Texas, La. (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre). Tobe Hooper (1974) Higueras Flores, Rubén, 2014-05-28 El estreno de La matanza de Texas cambió de manera radical y definitiva el devenir del cine de terror, convirtiéndose en un nítido ejemplo de lo que el género ha constituido temática, narrativa y formalmente en su periodo moderno. Cuatro décadas después de su realización, La matanza de Texas continúa influyendo en nuevas generaciones de cineastas e infundiendo terror a aquellos espectadores que se acercan a ella por primera vez merced al intenso estado de sugestión en el que Hooper sume a su público mediante la conjunción de un inteligente uso del montaje, unas imágenes con un look decididamente insalubre y sucio, la adopción de rasgos formales más propios del cine documental que del de ficción y una banda sonora conformada por incómodos efectos sonoros, entre otros recursos que el presente libro examina con minuciosidad. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: The Boiling River Andrés Ruzo, 2016-02-16 In this exciting adventure mixed with amazing scientific study, a young, exuberant explorer and geoscientist journeys deep into the Amazon—where rivers boil and legends come to life. When Andrés Ruzo was just a small boy in Peru, his grandfather told him the story of a mysterious legend: There is a river, deep in the Amazon, which boils as if a fire burns below it. Twelve years later, Ruzo—now a geoscientist—hears his aunt mention that she herself had visited this strange river. Determined to discover if the boiling river is real, Ruzo sets out on a journey deep into the Amazon. What he finds astounds him: In this long, wide, and winding river, the waters run so hot that locals brew tea in them; small animals that fall in are instantly cooked. As he studies the river, Ruzo faces challenges more complex than he had ever imaged. The Boiling River follows this young explorer as he navigates a tangle of competing interests—local shamans, illegal cattle farmers and loggers, and oil companies. This true account reads like a modern-day adventure, complete with extraordinary characters, captivating plot twists, and jaw-dropping details—including stunning photographs and a never-before-published account about this incredible natural wonder. Ultimately, though, The Boiling River is about a man trying to understand the moral obligation that comes with scientific discovery —to protect a sacred site from misuse, neglect, and even from his own discovery. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: The Last Colonial Massacre Greg Grandin, 2011-07-30 After decades of bloodshed and political terror, many lament the rise of the left in Latin America. Since the triumph of Castro, politicians and historians have accused the left there of rejecting democracy, embracing communist totalitarianism, and prompting both revolutionary violence and a right-wing backlash. Through unprecedented archival research and gripping personal testimonies, Greg Grandin powerfully challenges these views in this classic work. In doing so, he uncovers the hidden history of the Latin American Cold War: of hidebound reactionaries holding on to their power and privilege; of Mayan Marxists blending indigenous notions of justice with universal ideas of equality; and of a United States supporting new styles of state terror throughout the region. With Guatemala as his case study, Grandin argues that the Latin American Cold War was a struggle not between political liberalism and Soviet communism but two visions of democracy—one vibrant and egalitarian, the other tepid and unequal—and that the conflict’s main effect was to eliminate homegrown notions of social democracy. Updated with a new preface by the author and an interview with Naomi Klein, The Last Colonial Massacre is history of the highest order—a work that will dramatically recast our understanding of Latin American politics and the role of the United States in the Cold War and beyond. “This work admirably explains the process in which hopes of democracy were brutally repressed in Guatemala and its people experienced a civil war lasting for half a century.”—International History Review “A richly detailed, humane, and passionately subversive portrait of inspiring reformers tragically redefined by the Cold War as enemies of the state.”—Journal of American History |

| la masacre de texas historia real: Guerra Contra Todos los Puertorriqueños Nelson A Denis, 2015-11-24 “Prepárese para ser enfurecido. Una lectura obligada y reveladora.” —Robert Domínguez, New York Daily News En 1950, después de cincuenta años de ocupación militar y gobierno colonial, el Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico montó una fallida revolución armada contra Estados Unidos. La violencia arraso con la isla: comandos nacionalistas fueron enviados a Washington a ajusticiar al presidente Harry Truman, se desataron tiroteos en ocho municipios, se incendiaron cuarteles policiacos y oficinas de correo. Para sofocar esta insurrección, el Ejército de Estados Unidos desplegó miles de tropas y ametralló dos pueblos desde el aire, marcando la primera vez en su historia que el gobierno estadounidense atacó de esta forma a sus propios ciudadanos. Por medio de narraciones orales, entrevistas personales, relatos de testigos oculares, testimonios del Congreso de Estados Unidos y archivos recientemente liberados al público por el FBI, Guerra Contra Todos los Puertorriqueños nos relata la historia de una revolución olvidada y su contexto en la historia grande de Puerto Rico, desde la invasión estadounidense de 1898 hasta la lucha actual por la plena autodeterminación de los puertorriqueños. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: Blood of the Earth Kevin A. Young, 2017-02-14 Conflicts over subterranean resources, particularly tin, oil, and natural gas, have driven Bolivian politics for nearly a century. “Resource nationalism”—the conviction that resource wealth should be used for the benefit of the “nation”—has often united otherwise disparate groups, including mineworkers, urban workers, students, war veterans, and middle-class professionals, and propelled an indigenous union leader, Evo Morales, into the presidency in 2006. Blood of the Earth reexamines the Bolivian mobilization around resource nationalism that began in the 1920s, crystallized with the 1952 revolution, and continues into the twenty-first century. Drawing on a wide array of Bolivian and US sources, Kevin A. Young reveals that Bolivia became a key site in a global battle among economic models, with grassroots coalitions demanding nationalist and egalitarian alternatives to market capitalism. While US-supported moderates within the revolutionary regime were able to defeat more radical forces, Young shows how the political culture of resource nationalism, though often comprising contradictory elements, constrained government actions and galvanized mobilizations against neoliberalism in later decades. His transnational and multilevel approach to the 1952 revolution illuminates the struggles among Bolivian popular sectors, government officials, and foreign powers, as well as the competing currents and visions within Bolivia’s popular political cultures. Offering a fresh appraisal of the Bolivian Revolution, resource nationalism, and the Cold War in Latin America, Blood of the Earth is an ideal case study for understanding the challenges shared by countries across the Global South. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: Antiracism in Cuba Devyn Spence Benson, 2016-04-05 Analyzing the ideology and rhetoric around race in Cuba and south Florida during the early years of the Cuban revolution, Devyn Spence Benson argues that ideas, stereotypes, and discriminatory practices relating to racial difference persisted despite major efforts by the Cuban state to generate social equality. Drawing on Cuban and U.S. archival materials and face-to-face interviews, Benson examines 1960s government programs and campaigns against discrimination, showing how such programs frequently negated their efforts by reproducing racist images and idioms in revolutionary propaganda, cartoons, and school materials. Building on nineteenth-century discourses that imagined Cuba as a raceless space, revolutionary leaders embraced a narrow definition of blackness, often seeming to suggest that Afro-Cubans had to discard their blackness to join the revolution. This was and remains a false dichotomy for many Cubans of color, Benson demonstrates. While some Afro-Cubans agreed with the revolution's sentiments about racial transcendence--not blacks, not whites, only Cubans--others found ways to use state rhetoric to demand additional reforms. Still others, finding a revolution that disavowed blackness unsettling and paternalistic, fought to insert black history and African culture into revolutionary nationalisms. Despite such efforts by Afro-Cubans and radical government-sponsored integration programs, racism has persisted throughout the revolution in subtle but lasting ways. |

| la masacre de texas historia real: El exterminio de las tribus indias de Norteamérica José Manuel Azcona Pastor, Miguel Madueño Álvarez, 2024-07-19 ¿Puede entenderse la existencia de Estados Unidos sin hablar del genocidio? ¿Cuánta sangre indígena hizo falta para bautizar «la tierra de los libres y el hogar de los valientes»? ¿Cómo lograron sus Gobiernos legitimar la colonización del Oeste mientras condenaban el imperialismo europeo? ¿Fueron acaso las balas su arma más poderosa? ¿De qué modo afrontaron las diferentes tribus la amenaza de su desaparición? Siguiendo la estela de la literatura de Poe y de Walt Whitman, el cine de Hollywood ha modelado con creces el imaginario colectivo del mundo convirtiendo un terrorífico episodio de aniquilación y barbarie en uno de heroísmo y sacrificio en aras del progreso. Pero ¿qué hay de verdad en el relato? Más allá de <i>cowboys</i> y siux, de Buffalo Bill y Toro Sentado, de carteles para cazarrecompensas y partidas de póker, la del salvaje Oeste es una oscura historia de sometimiento, abuso y exterminio sistemático de pueblos nativos enteros bajo la premisa protestante de un «destino manifiesto». La Casa Blanca disfrazó de guerra civilizatoria una auténtica estrategia que debía garantizar su expansión mediante la total erradicación de quienes habitaban aquellas tierras. ¿Sabías que el Ejército estadounidense organizó matanzas indiscriminadas de millones de bisontes, animales imprescindibles para las tribus, hasta darlos casi por extintos? ¿Y que las reservas en que fueron encerrados y <i>reeducados</i> los indios sumieron a muchos en la depresión y los arrojaron al alcohol, terminando de neutralizarlos? Sumérgete en este alucinante estudio que se propone desmitificar con datos la edulcorada conquista del Oeste y ofrecer una imagen fidedigna de ella. Adéntrate en las Colinas Negras y asiste a las masacres de Sand Creek o Wounded Knee. Conoce a los lakota, a los cheyene, a los kiowa o a los pawnee y explora las diferencias que los llevaron a enfrentarse fatalmente unos con otros, allanando el camino de los colonos. Escucha hablar a Halcón Negro y a Nube Roja, al presidente Jackson y al general Custer.

| la masacre de texas historia real: Buscando el KO GUSTAVO VIDAL MANZANARES, 2024-01-15 Los momentos estelares del pugilismo parecen desarrollarse en público, bajo unos focos cegadores y miles de ojos clavados en músculos tensionados. Pero no es así… todo comienza a gestarse mucho antes. En soledad. Sudando hasta la extenuación en gimnasios con olor a «axila de sótano», trotando en campos y parques, entre sombras y silencios de madrugadas frías. El peso, la dieta, el descanso, no a las salidas nocturnas. Sacrificio, sacrificio, sacrificio. Es ahí donde comienza a germinar el éxito. La puesta en escena no es más que la acumulación del esfuerzo y el sacrificio labrado casi siempre en soledad, casi siempre en mitad de la incomprensión. ¿Puede construirse una metáfora más semejante a la vida que las que brinda el boxeo? |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Bananas and Business Marcelo Bucheli, 2005-02-01 For well over a century, the United Fruit Company (UFCO) has been the most vilified multinational corporation operating in Latin America. Criticism of the UFCO has been widespread, ranging from politicians to consumer activists, and from labor leaders to historians, all portraying it as an overwhelmingly powerful corporation that shaped and often exploited its host countries. In this first history of the UFCO in Colombia, Marcelo Bucheli argues that the UFCO's image as an all-powerful force in determining national politics needs to be reconsidered. Using a previously unexplored source—the internal archives of Colombia's UFCO operation—Bucheli reveals that before 1930, the UFCO worked alongside a business-friendly government that granted it generous concessions and repressed labor unionism. After 1930, however, the country experienced dramatic transformations including growing nationalism, a stronger labor movement, and increasing demands by local elites for higher stakes in the banana export business. In response to these circumstances, the company abandoned production, selling its plantations (and labor conflicts) to local growers, while transforming itself into a marketing company. The shift was endorsed by the company's shareholders and financial analysts, who preferred lower profits with lower risks, and came at a time in which the demand for bananas was decreasing in America. Importantly, Bucheli shows that the effect of foreign direct investment was not unidirectional. Instead, the agency of local actors affected corporate strategy, just as the UFCO also transformed local politics and society. |
| la masacre de texas historia real: Missionaries and Resistance in Guatemala Mario Trinidad, 2024-09-05 In Guatemala, the 36-year armed conflict from 1960 to 1996 claimed 200,000 lives, over two per cent of the population, and displaced a million more. In the 1970s and the 1980s the widespread and violent repression of social movements fighting for justice and human rights reached unimaginable proportions, involving assassinations, disappearances, and exile. Even parts of the Church, traditionally considered an ally of the powerful and the wealthy, were not spared this fate. Missionaries and Resistance in Guatemala chronicles the involvement of certain Catholic missionaries in popular and revolutionary movements. Based primarily on their own accounts, it narrates their gradual progression from conservative theological and pastoral practices to radical positions, informed by their solidarity with the poor and a theology of liberation. Their stories are situated in a wider geopolitical and ecclesial context. |
