At the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the first edition of the book Guatemala: Una Interpretación Histórico-Social [Guatemala: A Social and Historical Interpretation], Dr. Carlos Guzmán Böckler will be holding a public lecture under the title "Power, Indigenous People and Social Thought: A Critical Approach" at the School of History of the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala on February 25, 2015.
During the lecture, Dr. Carlos Guzmán Böckler will discuss the history of social thought in Guatemala, drawing particular attention to the epistemological rupture at the beginning of the 1970s, as a result of this and other seminal books, and its political consequences in terms of social mobilization.
