Our Time is Now. Race and Modernity in Postcolonial Guatemala, Paperback/***

Merging the histories of capitalism with political and cultural analysis, Gibbings demonstrates how the struggle between indigenous people and settlers to manage contested ideas of modern politics, economics, and social norms was central to the rise of coffee capitalism in Guatemala and to twentieth century populist dictatorship and revolution.
