Reviews

"An extensively researched and thoughtful volume. . . . a necessary intervention in how we examine development, as it moves away from a focus on policy and toward how development was implemented, contested, and negotiated on the ground.""--Hispanic American Historical Review An innovative study of Cold War-era development projects in rural Guatemala. . . . Foss skillfully weaves a chronological narrative that spans significant national, regional, and global shifts, integrating them into her history with such grace that her reader might overlook this accomplishment.""--The Americas Creatively researched and thoughtfully written and analysed, On Our Own Terms is a welcome contribution to the historiography of the Cold War in Guatemala.""--Journal of Latin American Studies Excellent. In this well-researched book . . . Foss shows readers how states used development to forge a politically useful populace. On Our Own Terms is a praiseworthy contribution.""--Journal of Social History"
