Las causas estructurales, así como las motivaciones individuales para emprender este viaje, son diversas; se han ido acumulando a lo largo del tiempo. En gran medida reflejan historia compartida y la profunda crisis sistémica (político- institucional, económica, sociocultural y medioambiental) por la que atraviesa el país y la región centroamericana. Como la crisis (en la que lo «viejo» muere y algo nuevo intenta nacer), la migración es muchas veces un viaje sin retorno. También es un sueño, otro de esos viajes eutopísticos que se emprenden para encontrar, rehacer y reproducir en «otro lugar» una vida mejor. Un proceso de transportación, transculturación y sincretismo semiótico, a través del cual se rompen, constituyen y reconstruyen lazos familiares, comunitarios y simbólicos de identidad personal y nacional en «otro territorio», ya sea este un barrio de Chicago, Massachusetts o Maryland, para poner algunos ejemplos. En el tercer volumen de la revista Eutopía quisimos resaltar esta problemática, priorizada dentro de nuestra Agenda de Investigación y Proyección universitaria, considerada igualmente prioritaria por la Compañía de Jesús, por su carácter humano y el compromiso con los menos favorecidos socialmente. Esto se expresa en la intensa labor que la misma hace en la acogida y acompañamiento de migrantes, deportados y retornados, a través de la Red Jesuita con Migrantes de Centroamérica. Nutrimos este volumen, entonces, con varias colaboraciones alusivas a la temática: la monografía, las fotografías y textos de la portada y separatas de las secciones de la revista, un artículo y una fuente documental.

  • Guatemala Timeline
    Guatemala Timeline 1954: The U.S. backs a coup led by Carlos Castillo Armas against Guatemala's president, Jacobo Arbenz, which halts land reforms. Castillo Armas becomes President and takes away voting rights for illiterate Guatemalans. 1957: On July 26, President Armas is killed. 1960: The violent Guatemalan Civil War begins between the government's army and left-wing groups. Thousands of murders, rapes, tortures, and forced disappearances were executed by the Government toward the indigenous peoples. 1971: 12,000 students of the Universidad de San Carlos protest the soaring rate of violent crime. 1980: Maya leaders go to the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala to protest the numerous disappearances and assassinations by the State and to ask that the army be removed from their department, El Quiché. Security forces respond by burning the Embassy, which results in 37 deaths. 1982: Under President/Dictator Ríos Mont, the Scorched Earth policy targeting indigenous groups goes into effect. Over 626 indigenous villages are attacked.

Introduction I am from Jacaltenango, a town in Guatemala, located on the slopes of the Cuchumatan Mountains, a branch of the Sierra Madre in the Department of Huehuetenango. My birth year is 1936. Growing up in the 1940s and 1950s, village life included working in our cornfields, and speaking our Maya Jakalteko (Popti’). Thanks to the Maryknoll missionaries, I could go to a seminary; then I got a scholarship to attend a national school, graduating as a schoolteacher.

  • Exclusion, Gender and Education
    Indigenous girls in 6 Guatemala: Poverty and location Kelly Hallman and Sara Peracca, with Jennifer Catino and Marta Julia Ruiz lthough enrollment rates are increasing in Guatemala, Aeducational attainment continues to be among the low- est in Latin America as a result of late entry, repetition, and early dropout. Vast inequalities in access and attainment— linked to ethnicity, gender, poverty, and geography—remain. Adult literacy, estimated at 85 percent in Latin America, is just 70 percent in Guatemala (UNDP 2004). While indigenous peoples generally have less school- ing than nonindigenous peoples throughout Latin America, ethnic differences are greatest in Guatemala, where indig- enous adults have less than half the schooling of nonindige- nous adults (2.5 years of education compared with 5.7 years) (Hall and Patrinos 2005). Recent trends show the ethnic gap narrowing among younger people, but large inequalities re- main. Among 10- to 19-year-olds, the indigenous literacy This chapter was commissioned by the Center for Global Development, Washington, D.C.

  • Agreement on Identity and Rights of Indigenous Peoples
    Peace Agreements Digital Collection Guatemala >> Agreement on identity and rights of indigenous peoples Agreement on identity and rights of indigenous peoples Considering That the question of identity and rights of indigenous peoples is a vital issue of historic importance for the present and future of Guatemala; That the indigenous peoples include the Maya people, the Garifuna people and the Xinca people, and that the Maya people consist of various socio-cultural groups having a common origin; That, because of its history, conquest, colonization, movements and migrations, the Guatemalan nation is multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual in nature; That the parties recognize and respect the identity and political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Maya, Garifuna and Xinca peoples, within the unity of the Guatemalan nation, and subject to the indivisibility of the territory of the Guatemalan State, as components of that unity; That the indigenous peoples have been particularly subject to de facto levels of discrimination, exploitation and injustice, on account of their origin, culture and language and that, like many other sectors of the national community, they have to endure unequal and unjust treatment and conditions on account of their economic and social status; That this historical reality has affected and continues to affect these peoples profoundly, denying them the full exercise of their rights and political participation, and hampering the configuration of a national unity which should adequately reflect the rich

This report analyzes Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data from the 2017 American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. Economic factors have historically affected the migration patterns of Central Americans such as Guatemalans. Prior to the 1980s, Central American migration to the United States showed a marked bipolarity. The majority of migrants were upper- and middle- class individuals who could afford to travel and relocate. A minority were single women hired to do domestic work in the U.S. However, in the 1980s a dramatic shift emerged in the migration pattern. 3 Armed conflicts in Central America, in which the U.S. under the Reagan administration supported brutally authoritarian right-wing forces, created social turmoil throughout the region. Emigration not only began to increase steeply, but it took on a different aspect.

    U.S. Department of Commerce BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Center for International Research December- .. --- - -- 19N-.-. GUATEMALA Guatemala is the second most popu- Figure 1. lous Central American nation, with Rmnt Distribution of Population, by Age and Sex: an estimated 8.9 million inhabitants 1989 and 202Q in 1989. The country presently has a Male young age structure, with 45 percent Female of the population under 15 years of age (figure 1). Infant mortality has been si@tcantly reduced in recent decades, and the total fertility rate, though declining, is still over 5 chil- dren per woman. Guatemala's population, however, is slowly aging. Declining fertility is re- ducing the growth of the very young population. Concurrently, improve- ments in mortality at older ages are . accelerating the growth of the older population. As a result, older age groups are gaining proportionately greater weight in the overall age structure. Compared with the population as a whole, the older age components will grow quite rapidly in the coming de- cades. While the total population is projected to increase 2.2 percent per year during the next 16 years, the 65 to 74 age group will grow 40 percent faster, and the 75-and-over age group, 70 percent faster (table 1). In 1989,7.4 percent of all Guaterna- lans (650,000 persons) are at least 55 years old, somewhat less than the ag- gregate Middle American percent- age (table 2). By 2020, this propor- tion will exceed 11 percent, representing 1.8 million people. The cohorts of the oldest old also will as- sume greater relative importance.

  • Human Rights in Guatemala by Jennifer Archibald
    R EVIEW D IGEST: H UMAN R IGHTS IN L ATIN A MERICA Human Rights in Guatemala by Jennifer Archibald Thirty six years of civil war affected human rights negatively in Guatemala. Many actors that violated human rights were also victims of human rights violations; a complex series of events that has still not been fully resolved today. During the Cold War the United States feared the president of Guatemala, Jacobo Arbenz, was a communist threat. In 1954, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) orchestrated an operation that forced Arbenz into exile. Civil chaos resulted with military officers revolting against autocratic rule. Multiple guerrilla groups conducted economic sabotage and attacks against the government. The army launched counterinsurgency campaigns resulting in a sequence of military dominated governments that were backed by the U.S. During the 36-year war Guatemala experienced a variety of military, government, and civilian conflicts, that left thousands dead and over a million displaced. The primary actors guilty of human rights violations were guerilla forces, succession of military juntas, and indirectly the CIA. The army was blamed by a Guatemalan truth commission for the majority of the abuses. The U.S. and various guerilla groups were also blamed for specific human rights violations and for fueling the war in general. The civil war and human rights violations were also characterized by mass displacement and gross human rights violations of the Guatemalan population, especially indigenous groups, women and children. For many Mayan communities, torture, targeted killings, disappearances and displacement were a daily experience. Public officials trivialized the murders and rape of women.
