Title: Daily Life During Guatemala’s Civil War
Date: 1982-07-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A woman wearing an indigenous traje walks past a pharmacy with freshly cleaned laundry near the capital in south-central Guatemala, July 1, 1982. The Cold War hemispheric battles of dominance between the United States and the Soviet Union led the CIA in 1954 to orchestrate a coup d’état to overthrow democratically elected Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz, sending the country into turmoil and civil war. Between the years 1960 and 1996 more than 200,000 civilians were killed, up to 45,000 civilians were forcibly disappeared, and between 500,000 and 1.5 million people were internally displaced or fled the country.

Title: Guatemalan Army Directs Residents To Form Civil Defense Patrols In Huehuetenango
Date: 1982-09-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: Local residents listen to a Guatemalan army officer, center, speak about forming civil defense patrols to secure their villages against leftist guerrilla attacks near Huehuetenango, Guatemala, September 1, 1982. The Patrullas de Autodefensa Civil, civil defense patrols, PAC, were composed of members of rural communities particularly in the heavily indigenous northwest of the country and were directed with coercion and force by the Guatemalan Armed Forces. PACs effectively institutionalized military power at the local level by infiltrating and dissolving community loyalties and reorienting them to serve counterinsurgency efforts. The state regime was able to effectively recapture all guerrilla territory at an enormous cost in civilian deaths.
