| Summary: | Micropolítica del terror y de la resistencia, by Manolo E. Vela Castañeda, offers a rigorous analysis of state violence and high-risk militancy in Guatemala between 1980 and 1985, through a methodological approach that combines oral history and press documentation, administrative documents and political theory. The author he author scrutinizes clandestine detention centers and death squads as bureaucratic structures of terror, introducing the concepts of the “gray zone” and “high-risk repertoire” to interrogate the tensions between victimization and agency. Distinguished by its ethical and methodological approach, the work synthesizes testimonial evidence and structural analysis to illuminate the dynamics of authoritarianism and the multifaceted forms of resistance that emerge in contexts of extreme repression.
