Description:
The conquest, colonization, independence, the liberal reforms, the regimes, revolution, and dictatorships, the insurrections and ongoing peace dialogues -- all are combined in a narrative projecting the most important forces in Guatemalan history from the Mayan period to our own times.
Expand description
Using excerpts from poems, novels, stories, essays, and interviews by writers ranging from Cardoza y Aragon and Nobel Prize winner Miguel Angel Asturias to the indigenous and testimonial voices of Rigoberta Menchu and Mario Payeras, this full sampling of a country's literature is, in truth, a documentary of realism and magic. Voices from the Silence bears witness to a nation's long journey toward some idea community for which so many have fought and died.
