Publisher Synopsis
"The Democracy Development Machine is a fantastic book. It's exactly what political ethnography should be-insightful, analytically rigorous, ethnographically rich, and provocative." -- Jennifer Burrell, Professor, College of Arts and Sciences, SUNY-Albany, and author of <I>Maya After War</I> "Nicholas Copeland has written a powerful critique of grassroots democracy. Copeland captures the complicated ways local allegiances work in practice; shattering romantic notions of community cooperation. This reveals much about Guatemala's troubled politics and enriches our understanding of the multifaceted, often unintended, effects of social action." -- Edward Fischer, Vanderbilt University Read more...
