Abstract

Thelma Cabrera may not have won her bid to become Guatemala's next president, but she did shake up the country's political scene.

A Maya Mam Indigenous rights defender, Cabrera finished fourth place among 19 candidates in the country's recent general elections. Hers was the strongest showing ever for an Indigenous presidential candidate in a country with a majority Indigenous population.
