Summary "During the Cold War, U.S. intervention in Latin American politics, economics, and society grew in scope and complexity, with diplomatic legacies evident in today's hemispheric policies. Development became a key form of intervention as government officials and experts from the United States and Latin America believed that development could foster hemispheric solidarity and security. In parts of Latin America, its implementation was especially intricate because recipients of these programs were diverse Indigenous peoples with their own politics, economics, and cultures. Contrary to project planners' expectations, Indigenous beneficiaries were not passive recipients but actively engaged with development interventions and, in the process, redefined racialized ideas about Indigeneity. Sarah Foss illustrates how this process transpired in Cold War Guatemala, spanning democratic revolution, military coups, and genocidal civil war"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Sarah Foss is assistant professor of history at Oklahoma State University Print version record Subject Agriculture -- Economic aspects -- Guatemala -- History -- 20th century Rural development -- Guatemala -- History -- 20th century Community development -- Guatemala -- History -- 20th century Indians of Central America -- Guatemala -- Economic conditions Indians of Central America -- Guatemala -- Government relations Indians of Central America -- Race identity -- Guatemala Economic assistance, American -- Guatemala -- History -- 20th century Economic development -- Guatemala -- Citizen participation Cold War -- Influence.
