Book excerpt: Urban Guerrilla vs Citizens Revolution: The Ecuadorian Dilemma at the Turn of the Century examines how trauma and modernity affected the daily lives of Ecuadorian guerrilla activists. Utilizing oral histories and archival study, this book describes the lives of activists in the Ecuadorian guerrilla group ¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo!. Dr. Nicolas Buckley demonstrates not only how these AVC activist’s life stories reveal their traumas, but also how their traumas are proof that modern Ecuador is still anchored in its colonial past. Further, Dr. Buckley explores two identities that emerged in Latin America, the “mestizo” versus the “indigenous.”
