This chapter provides a summary overview of indigenous politics in the town of San Pedro Necta from the 1940s to the early 1980s, focused on experiences with the dictatorship, armed rebellion, and state violence. The rest of the chapter explores how Sampedranos narrated this past after years of army efforts to promote official memories and subsequent truth commissions. I focus particularly on how they narrated themselves as uninvolved with the guerrilla movement, and as being caught “between two armies” during the armed conflict. It also examines how these frames were rooted in identities predicated on the failure of the revolution that took hold on a post-genocidal landscape of memory. I examine how these frames open and close spaces for indigenous agency in neoliberal democracy.

The conclusion summarizes the main findings of the previous chapters in capsule form, evaluates their implications for existing literature on democracy and development and the politics of redistribution. It also compares these findings to those of scholars and organizations in Guatemala who make similar claims. It asks what it will take to decolonize democracy and development, and what it could take to build a progressive populist alliance against neoliberalism under prevailing conditions in Guatemala.

This chapter examines how, competitive, and enterprising subjectivities were promoted through individualized capacity development in San Pedro Necta, and how it gave rise to capacidad, (training and development) as a new norm that has reorganized local conceptions and practices of self and society and promoted a new way to differentiate and rank. It is both a driver of deepening class divisions, and a way of rationalizing them. I ethnographically depict different social categories related to capacidad and explore how capacidad has enabled new economic practices, created conditions for the articulation of indigenous identity, and reshaped gender relations. The conclusion reflects on the forms of exclusion inherent in this model of advancement, and points to other ways to be human that exceed and resist the normalizing effects of capacidad.
