Many people fled the country to escape the violence. Yet, at the same moment, a popular movement for justice brought together unlikely bands of behind-the-scenes heroes, blurring ethnic, geographic, and even class lines. The Quiet Revolutionaries is drawn from interviews conducted by Frank Afflitto in the early 1990s with more than eighty survivors of the state-sanctioned violence. Gathered under frequently life-threatening circumstances, the observations and recollections of these inspiring men and women form a unique perspective on collective efforts to produce change in politics, law, and public consciousness. Examined from a variety of perspectives, from sociological to historical, their stories form a rich ethnography. While it is still too soon to tell whether stable, long-term democracy will prevail in Guatemala, the successes of these fascinating individuals provide a unique understanding of revolutionary resistance. 606 $aDisappeared persons$zGuatemala 606 $aState-sponsored terrorism$zGuatemala 606 $aDisappeared persons' families$zGuatemala 606 $aDisappeared persons' families$zGuatemala$xPolitical activity 606 $aHuman rights movements$zGuatemala 607 $aGuatemala$xHistory$yCivil War, 1960-1996 615 0$aDisappeared persons 615 0$aState-sponsored terrorism 615 0$aDisappeared persons' families 615 0$aDisappeared persons' families$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aHuman rights movements 676 $a972.8105/3 700 $aAfflitto$b Frank M.$f1960-$01629605 701 $aJesilow$b Paul$f1950-$01629606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819110703321 996 $aThe quiet revolutionaries$93967443 997 $aUNINA
