WHAT THE RICH DON'T TELL THE POOR: CONVERSATIONS IN GUATEMALA
(publication pending)

This book, based on in-depth interviews with members of Guatemala's economic elite or 'oligarchy', looks at the richest people in one of the world's poorest countries and reveals how they see the world, how they maintain their power and how their domination can be challenged. You will hear the unknown voices of the rich, not the well-known voices of the poor.

Read an article about the book from Inforpress Centroamericana describing the oligarchy's responsibility for violence in the civil war (in Spanish).
