Trade Review
“Michael Cangemi provides an outstanding contribution to historical research on Guatemala, Catholic activism, and US policy in Central America. By using a breadth of United States English language secular and religious archives, a range of Catholic newspaper accounts, and by delving into Guatemalan Human Rights reports, Cangemi creates a dialogue among these distinct experiences of and perspectives on Guatemala’s violent history."—Susan Fitzpatrick-Behrens, author of The Maryknoll Catholic Mission in Peru, 1943–1989: Transnational Faith and Transformation
