Modernity At Gunpoint Provides the first study of the political and cultural significance of weaponry in the context of major armed conflicts in Mexico and Central America. In this original study, Sophie Esch approaches political violence through its most direct and symbolic tool: the firearm. Esch grounds her analysis in important rereadings of canonical texts by Nellie Campobello, Omar Cabezas, Gioconda Belli, and others.
