Book excerpt: For more than half a century the United Fruit Company has been the target of innumerable books and articles highly critical of its banana operations in Central America, the Caribbean, Panama and Colombia. U.S. and Latin American scholars have repeatedly accused the Company of nefarious practices that were detrimental to the development of the countries in which it operated.Nowhere has the United Fruit Company (today's Chiquita Brands International) been more criticized than in Guatemala, where, among many other charges, it has been frequently alleged that President Jacobo Arbenz's expropriation of thousands of acres of UFCO's landholdings triggered the U.S. government's 1954 coup against the most progressive government in Guatemala's chaotic and violent history. This book, which puts on the record most of the charges that have been made about the United Fruit Company's sixty-six years in Guatemala (1906-1972), provides a careful analysis of these allegations. While a number of them are certainly valid, an objective study of these indictments demonstrates that United Fruit's role in Guatemala's human and economic development was far more positive than has been previously documented.The book is amply documented with chapter notes and a bibliography listing more than 200 cited works. It includes 25 historical photos, reproduced from the collection of the Centro de Investigaciones Regionales de MesoAmerica (CIRMA).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most thorough account yet available of a revolution that saw the first true agrarian reform in Central America, this book is also a penetrating analysis of the tragic destruction of that revolution. In no other Central American country was U.S. intervention so decisive and so ruinous, charges Piero Gleijeses. Yet he shows that the intervention can be blamed on no single "convenient villain." "Extensively researched and written with conviction and passion, this study analyzes the history and downfall of what seems in retrospect to have been Guatemala's best government, the short-lived regime of Jacobo Arbenz, overthrown in 1954, by a CIA-orchestrated coup."--Foreign Affairs "Piero Gleijeses offers a historical road map that may serve as a guide for future generations. . . . [Readers] will come away with an understanding of the foundation of a great historical tragedy."--Saul Landau, The Progressive "[Gleijeses's] academic rigor does not prevent him from creating an accessible, lucid, almost journalistic account of an episode whose tragic consequences still reverberate."--Paul Kantz, Commonweal

Download or read book Revolution in the Countryside written by Jim Handy and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most discussions of the Guatemalan "revolution" of 1944-54 focus on international and national politics, Revolution in the Countryside presents a more complex and integrated picture of this decade. Jim Handy examines the rural poor, both Maya and Ladino, as key players who had a decisive impact on the nature of change in Guatemala. He looks at the ways in which ethnic and class relations affected government policy and identifies the conflict generated in the countryside by new economic and social policies. Handy provides the most detailed discussion yet of the Guatemalan agrarian reform, and he shows how peasant organizations extended its impact by using it to lay claim to land, despite attempts by agrarian officials and the president to apply the law strictly. By focusing on changes in rural communities, and by detailing the coercive measures used to reverse the "revolution in the countryside" following the overthrow of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, Handy provides a framework for interpreting more recent events in Guatemala, especially the continuing struggle for land and democracy.
