Spanning the years of civil war in Guatemala,Unfinished Conquestportrays an embattled country facing the third cycle of a conquest that began when the conquistadors arrived in the sixteenth century. As personal narrative weaves with reportage and oral testimony, we meet the victims, champions, and villains of a society torn apart by violence and injustice.
Victor Perera(1934-2003) was novelist and writer whose books includeRites: A Guatemalan Boyhood(1985) andThe Last Lords of Palenque(California, 1986).
