Abstract
This work presents the bibliographic repertoire printed in the workshops of the Tipografía Nacional of Guatemala, an institution in charge of running the Office of Dissemination, Culture and Tourism of the Presidency of the Republic, between 1954 and 1957. The primary purpose here is to exhibit the publications as part of the liberation movement’s written culture, to highlight its features, and note the role it played during Carlos Castillo Armas’ administration. The study resulted in a two-category classification of these materials that made possible to pinpoint the repertoire’s objectives as discursive tools –the first in the gubernatorial function and the other as propaganda–, which were the legal and symbolic support of said regime, and the formation of anti-communism in Guatemala.
