Agreed, and I recommend Humberto Ak’abal’s writing on Asturias as an antidote to his racism. Nonetheless, I think Weekend is very important as an anti-imperial critique.

Written in the immediate aftermath of the US-sponsored overthrow of the Arbenz government in Guatemala in 1954, the book conveys the white-hot fury set off by these events that would fuel Guatemala’s civil war, and Latin American’s Cold War, for decades to come.
