Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Documents the history of Catholic activism to mitigate human rights abuses in Guatemala and the failed US policies in the country and region during the 1970s and 1980sBlessed Are the Activists examines US Catholic activists influence on US-Guatemalan relations during the Guatemalan civil wars most violent years in the 1970s and 1980s. Cangemi argues that Catholic activists definition of human rights, advocacy methods, and structure caused them to act as a transnational human rights NGO that engaged Guatemalan and US government officials on human rights issues, reported on Guatemalas human rights violations, and criticized US foreign policy decisions as a contributing factor in Guatemalas inequality, poverty, and violence. His work foregrounds how Catholic activists emphasized dignity for Guatemalas poorest citizens and the connections they made between justice, solidarity, and peace and brought Guatemalas violence, poverty, and inequality to greater global attention, often at great personal risk. Cangemi pays considerable attention to multiple facets of the strained US-Guatemala diplomatic relationship, including how and why Guatemalas military dictatorship exposed the internal flaws within the Carter administrations decision to link military aid to human rights and how internal foreign policy debates in the Carter and Reagan administrations helped to intensify Guatemalas bloody civil war. He also includes interviews conducted with Guatemalan genocide survivors and refugees to provide firsthand accounts of the consequences of those policymaking decisions. Finally, he offers readers an in-depth examination of the US Catholic presss sharp rebukes of US policies on Guatemala and all of Central America when the broader Roman Catholic Church began to move farther toward the ideological right under John Paul II.Blessed Are the Activists offers rich, original research and a gripping narrative. With Guatemala and other countries in Latin America still experiencing human rights abuses, this book will continue to provide context. It will appeal to a broad swath of readers, from scholars to the general public and students. Documents the history of Catholic activists to mitigate human rights abuses in Guatemala and the failed US policies in the country and region during the 1970s and 1980s.
