In \u003ci\u003eTrade Unionists against Terror\u003c\/i\u003e, she explores how workers made sense of their struggle for rights in the face of death squads and other forms of violent opposition from the state. Levenson-Estrada focuses especially on the case of 400 workers at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Guatemala City, who, in order to protect their union, successfully occupied the factory for over a year beginning in 1984 while the country was under a state of siege. According to Levenson-Estrada, religion provided the language of resistance, and workers who were engaged in what seemed to be a dead-end battle constructed an identity for themselves as powerful agents of change. Based on oral histories as well as documentary sources, \u003ci\u003eTrade Unionists against Terror\u003c\/i\u003e also illuminates complex relationships between urban popular culture, gender, family, and workplace activism in Guatemala. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Levenson-Estrada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 5.34w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807844403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLevenson-Estrada, Deborah:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Deborah Levenson-Estrada is associate professor of history at Boston College.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40161628684403,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":47.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_64af4ed8-0057-4f20-808f-319beb9516f2.jpg?v=1654955460","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/trade-unionists-against-terror-guatemala-city-1954-1985-9780807844403","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
