Book Synopsis Return Of Guatemala'S Refugees by : Clark Taylor
Download or read book Return Of Guatemala'S Refugees written by Clark Taylor and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 13, 1982, the Guatemalan army stormed into the remote northern Guatemalan village of Santa Maria Tzeja. The villagers had already fled in terror, but over the next six days seventeen of them, mostly women and children, were caught and massacred, animals were slaughtered, and the entire village was burned to the ground. Twelve years later, utilizing terms of refugee agreements reached in 1982, villagers from Santa Maria who had fled to Mexico returned to their homes and lands to re-create their community with those who had stayed in Guatemala. Return of Guatemala's Refugees tells the story of that process. In this moving and provocative book, Clark Taylor describes the experiences of the survivors -- both those who stayed behind in conditions of savage repression and those who fled to Mexico where they learned to organize and defend their rights. Their struggle to rebuild is set in the wider drama of efforts by grassroots groups to pressure the government, economic elites, and army to fulfill peace accords signed in December of 1996. Focusing on the village of Santa Maria Tzeja, Taylor defines the challenges that faced returning refugees and their community. How did the opposing subcultures of fear (generated among those who stayed in Guatemala) and of education and human rights (experienced by those who took refuge in Mexico) coexist? Would the flood of international money sent to settle the refugees and fulfill the peace accords serve to promote participatory development or new forms of social control? How did survivors expand the space for democracy firmly grounded in human rights? How did they get beyond the grief and trauma that remained from the terror of the early eighties? Finally, the ultimate challenge, how did they work within conditions of extreme poverty to create a grassroots democracy in a militarized society?
Book Synopsis Repatriation and Reintegration by : Beatriz Manz
Download or read book Repatriation and Reintegration written by Beatriz Manz and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was sponsored by the Hemispheric Migration Project of the Center for Immigration Policy and Refugee Assistance of Georgetown University. It analyses the prospects for repatriation under the two-year civilian rule of President Vinicio Cerezo for the Guatemalan refugees who entered Mexico between 1981 and 1983. The prospects for repatriation are explored from two related perspectives. First, the broad political, social, and economic conditions in Guatemala are examined, focusing on human rights, the land situation, and the role of the military and the church perspective. The author emphasizes that if civil rights cannot be guaranteed, then repatriation places the refugees in potential danger. Second, the adequacy of repatriation plans and the experiences of those who have sought to return are examined. At the local level, attention is given to whether human rights can be guaranteed, whether refugees will have access to their lands and means of livelihood, and whether the civilian government has prospects for meaningful control over the military to guarantee the refugees' political rights. This repatriation experience is brought out in four communities in different areas, three of which are new settlements. Specific and general problems of repatriation are included in the conlusion.

Book Synopsis Guatemalan Refugees in Mexico, 1980-1984 by : Eliecer Valencia
Download or read book Guatemalan Refugees in Mexico, 1980-1984 written by Eliecer Valencia and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 1984 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report deals with the situation of Guatemalan refugees in Mexico in the period of 1980-1984. After reviewing conditions of the Guatemalan refugees, the author points out that Mexico is worried by the possible political and economic repercussions of an open door policy towards the thousands of impoverished Guatemalans fleeing widespread violence and repression in their country. Moreover, the proximity of the conflict in Central America, poor relations with the Guatemalan government, and border crossings by the Guatemalan military, all contribute to Mexico's concern that it may become entangled in the Central American conflict. Although in general the Mexican open-door policy towards persecuted people has been maintained with the Guatemalan refugees, their situation remains critical after more than three years since the beginning of their massive flight to Chiapas. Within this context and in recognition of the fact that repatriation is not now the solution to the Guatemalan refugee problems. The Mexican government has used varying degrees of force particularly in order to bring about the relocation of dissident refugees.

Download or read book Central America written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the conditions of Guatemalan refugees and displaced persons in Mexico and Guatemala, focusing on: (1) the number, locations, and living conditions of Guatemalan refugees and displaced persons; (2) the assistance that the United Nations (UN) and host governments provided them; and (3) Guatemalan repatriation efforts. GAO found that: (1) as of December 1988, 42,000 of the 43,000 UN-registered refugees were living in Mexico; (2) UN has assisted the Guatemalan and Mexican governments in repatriating the nearly 200,000 refugees who fled Guatemala; (3) many repatriates and displaced persons who returned to remote regions faced uncertain security, since they returned to areas where sporadic fighting still continued; (4) land disputes confronted many refugees when they tried to return to their places of origin and recoup their abandoned lands, and many experienced the difficult economic conditions that the general Guatemalan population faced; (5) the Guatemalan government provided food, shelter, medical attention, and the basic necessities for reintegration, but needed additional assistance because of the limited economic opportunities and severely underdeveloped infrastructure in rural areas; (6) the Mexican government allowed large numbers of refugees into southern Mexico and provided temporary visas and basic assistance to UN-registered persons, but did not officially recognize them as refugees; (7) an estimated 150,000 Guatemalans who sought refuge in Mexico were not UN-registered; and (8) although Mexico discouraged permanent settlement where agricultural land and other resources were scarce, the more sparsely populated Mexican states offered Guatemalans opportunities to integrate into the general economy and become self-sufficient.
