| description | This article studies how the Q’eqchi’ of Cahabón (Alta Verapaz, Guatemala) relate to different past times, by examining the dynamics of two broad categories of narrative genre: established “stories” about ancestors and more autobiographical narratives about individual “suffering” experienced in recent times. The analysis of a narrative on a Q’eqchi’ peasant’s legal and political struggle against the Hacienda, recounted to the ethnographer and compared with the version of a ladino, shows the innovations of the narrator, as he uses different narrative genres to create a hero who can give meaning to recent historical upheavals |
