A Finger in the Wound: Body Politics in Quincentennial Guatemala
Diane M. Nelson
Many Guatemalans speak of Mayan indigenous organizing as 'a finger in the wound'. This book explores the implications of this painfully graphic metaphor in a study of the civil war and its aftermath. It investigates the notion of Quincentennial Guatemala, which has given focus to the overarching question of Mayan - and Guatemalan - identity.
