#H1182 Final Timeline Project https://t.co/vIsELaZ7C6

#H1182 Perhaps Guatemala experienced the highest number of humans rights violations because it had been impoverished and had already a great amount of inequality

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 It was very much the alliance between the army and police against the people as they condemned about every other person from clergy to university professors.

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 Though the National Police had a hand in “disappearing” people, they also had the authority to “find” these peoples bodies and “fail” to identify them. Very transparent lies, but who could challenge them on this?

#H1182 The organization cabinets for homicides, police files, and informant citizens are terrifying as it displays this national catastrophe as just another mundane job that needed to be thorough in its organization.

#H1182 It was surprising to find out that the Amazon rainforest hadn’t suffered much damage until the 1960s. However after that the World Bank funded horrible environmental projects completely destroying these ecosystems

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 Latin America experiences pressure to “downgrade the sophistication” of their exports, especially from China, the main consumer of raw materials worldwide

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@brianna65844979 #H1182 This unbalanced distribution led to increased social and economic inequalities between classes

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 The Zapatista uprising was different from those of guerrillas in the past. They were less military heavy, and more about making a statement and drawing attention. They act as a moral and less as a military

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@AlexaHe83946776 #H1182 And it was their political success that strengthened trust in left governments once again

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@AbbyRosas4 #H1182 I also really like the example from the book on their new outlook on capitalism being the same as dynamite. They were making sure they had a balance when dealing in capitalism

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 I believe the Left parties needed that era of neoliberalism that preceded them in order to succeed. It stopped inflation and it improved fiscal and trade balances that allowed the new left parties to start to focus on social welfare and destroying class dividers

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 The economic crisis between 1998-2002 helped the Left as it weakened support of incumbent parties and the status quo set by the Washington Consensus. This allowed for a turn towards alternatives to neoliberalism

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@fischler_a #H1182 They also worked to steadily raise the living standards of Cuba’s poor, so while still an authoritarian government they had good intentions

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@BriannaGallard1 #H1182 A very honest and accurate summary of his rulership. Seemed to be a fitting end

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@AbbyRosas4 #H1182 They also thought the same of Tania. It shows how much they were inspired by them and considered them martyrs

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@hzhdsbh7 No wonder they thought of it as the beginning of “a Chilean road” to socialism

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

@hzhdsbh7 #H1182 Crazy how they went from dictatorships to an unprecedented two nationalist presidents in a row

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 Whether a country started out with an elected president or the leaders had forcabled seized power, the nations armies would inevitably take control (with US help)setting up bureaucratic authoritarianism resulting the deaths of thousands of civilian fighters and protesters

[Camille Franklin @cfranklin99]

#H1182 During the anti-draft movements of Puerto Rico, women were stereotyped as pacifist, maternal, and devoted to their sons and husbands to a fault. To perhaps return to tradition. While everywhere else in Latin A, a common site was female freedom fighters and militant women
