Title: Photo Identity Pictures Displayed In Guatemala City
Date: 1982-01-01
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: A window box of identity card pictures is displayed in front of a photography store in downtown Guatemala City, Guatemala, January 1, 1982. The United States provided extensive support to the Guatemalan military and police programs to establish a counterintelligence apparatus that monitored the activities of all civilians in the name of identifying subversives. This was especially effective in the capital, where the remaining urban insurgency was effectively forced out to the countryside by 1981. The U.S. programs of surveillance that were established in Guatemala as early as the 1950s provided the Guatemalan state ample ability to identify and eradicate its opposition throughout the armed conflict.
