Does anybody know any good books about Guatemala? There's a couple I've been looking at but I still feel like I'm missing a lot of meat. It can be about any period (what I know about the most rn is the genocide - wouldn't mind learning more about Arbenz, the Banana Fruit or the independence either).

I guess most of all I'm asking here and not just googling because I want good, preferably even Marxist books and not just any lib shit. There's probably only one or two people who can help me if anyone but... I'm very open to recs.

    Thank you so much! I got the first two you mention, and I'd already acquired Menchú's and Asturias' before (the only one I've read so far is El Señor Presidente... I really loved it).

    Maybe I should've mentioned in my post that I'm a native Spanish speaker so I also take recommendations in Spanish. So in addition to these I recently ordered Cardoza y Aragón's "Guatemala. Las líneas de su mano" which I had been recommended before.
