FRANCISCO GOLDMAN - A Perfect Crime of State: The Bishop Gerardi Murder Case
Monday, April 4, 2005
Prize-winning journalist and novelist Francisco Goldman examines the 1998 murder of the Guatemalan human rights activist Bishop Juan Gerardi. Gerardi was a driving force in exposing military respnsibility for widespread atrocities committed, primarily against the country's indigenous Maya communities, during the 36-year Guatemalan civil war. Activists believe his murder was politically motivated, but the circumstances were mired in controversy, creating a mystery that has not been resolved to this day. Goldman explores the ambiguities that arise in the quest to expose the painful conflicts that haunt Guatemalan historical memory.
