Book Description:
|
Guatemala is a Central American country with a large Native American population. Land is distributed very unequally with over 80 percent of the land held by only 2 percent of the people. The poverty and desperation of the landless farm workers has made Guatemala a spawning ground for guerrilla and other protest movements.
