Guatemala: Eternal Spring, Eternal Tyranny
This unusual work presents striking photographs and an almost poetic text on Guatemala, where a large percentage of Central American human rights abuses have been committed. Using quotations from victims, relatives, witnesses, and others, the author, a photographer and consultant to Americas Watch, details the "disappearances" and torture, the hypocrisy and collusion of Guatemalan government officials, and the insensitivity of U.S. officials. The sickening consequences of torture are well documented, but this timely work offers no solutions, and those implied are somewhat naive. Nevertheless, recommended. Roderic A.
