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 authoritarian politics in San Pedro Necta operates. It begins with an overview of different Guatemalan populisms in the 20th century, and then examines the populist rhetoric and strategy of the FRG as it played out in San Pedro. It describes how FRG populism tapped into and reinforced and tapped into a sense of powerlessness, as well as the kinds of resentments created by party politics. Authoritarian populism reinscribed neoliberal democracy’s foundational limits as it tapped into wells of insecurity, mistrust, uncertainty, and resentment created by its failures. It appealed to corporeal needs and perceived grievances, gaining followers without ideological resonance and despite revulsion at national candidates and policies.
