In \u003ci\u003eTrade Unionists against Terror\u003c\/i\u003e, she explores how workers made sense of their struggle for rights in the face of death squads and other forms of violent opposition from the state. Levenson-Estrada focuses especially on the case of 400 workers at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Guatemala City, who, in order to protect their union, successfully occupied the factory for over a year beginning in 1984 while the country was under a state of siege. According to Levenson-Estrada, religion provided the language of resistance, and workers who were engaged in what seemed to be a dead-end battle constructed an identity for themselves as powerful agents of change. Based on oral histories as well as documentary sources, \u003ci\u003eTrade Unionists against Terror\u003c\/i\u003e also illuminates complex relationships between urban popular culture, gender, family, and workplace activism in Guatemala.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring decades of relentless state terror, workers in Guatemala City, built a vibrant, and in some cases victorious, labor movement.
