Between 1960 and 1996, Guatemala's civil war claimed 250,000 lives
and displaced one million people. Since the peace accords,
Guatemala has struggled to address the legacy of war, genocidal
violence against the Maya, and the dismantling of alternative
projects for the future. "War by Other Means" brings together new
essays by leading scholars of Guatemala from a range of
geographical backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives.
Contributors consider a wide range of issues confronting
present-day Guatemala: returning refugees, land reform, gang
violence, neoliberal economic restructuring, indigenous and women's
rights, complex race relations, the politics of memory, and the
challenges of sustaining hope. From a sweeping account of
Guatemalan elites' centuries-long use of violence to suppress
dissent to studies of intimate experiences of complicity and
contestation in richly drawn localities, "War by Other Means"
provides a nuanced reckoning of the injustices that made genocide
possible and the ongoing attempts to overcome them.
