For Indigenous peoples of Guatemala, mining is experienced within a lingering legacy of colonialism and genocide. Here, we discuss macro-level findings of a larger study, examining the lived context of a mining-affected community in Guatemala and barriers that this poses to peace. Using an anticolonial narrative methodology, guided by participatory action research principles, we interviewed 54 participants. Their accounts pointed to intersecting and ongoing forces of poverty, dispossession, gendered oppression, genocide, and global inequity were exacerbated and triggered by local mining operations. This context posed profound threats to community well-being and signals a call to action for nurses and other global actors.
对于危地马拉的原住民来说，采矿是在殖民主义和种族灭绝的遗留影响中经历的。在此，我们讨论一项更大规模研究的宏观层面结果，审视危地马拉一个受采矿影响社区的生活背景以及这对和平构成的障碍。我们采用反殖民叙事方法，在参与式行动研究原则的指导下，采访了54名参与者。他们的叙述表明，贫困、剥夺、性别压迫、种族灭绝和全球不平等这些相互交织且持续存在的力量因当地采矿作业而加剧并被触发。这种背景对社区福祉构成了严重威胁，并向护士及其他全球行动者发出了行动呼吁。
