In 1996, the Government of Guatemala and the guerrilla army known
as the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity (URNG), signed the
final Peace Accords ending both the United Nations monitored peace
process and 36 years of internal conflict. This civil war caused
untold internal and external displacement in the region as well as
the deaths of over 150,000 people, the majority of whom were from
indigenous groups. The legacy of this conflict which includes
increasing urban violence, social exclusion, and weak levels of
social capital, presents challenges for the country's post-conflict
peace-building agenda. Violence in a Post-Conflict Context
addresses the perceptions of violence by the people living in poor
communities in Guatemala. It provides the results of a
participatory study of violence conducted in urban low-income
communities. The book identifies the categories of violence
affecting poor communities, the costs of different types of
violence, the effects of violence on social capital, the
interventions employed by people to deal with the violence, and the
causes and effects of social exclusion. Violence in a Post-Conflict
Context incorporates the rarely heard voices of the poor by using
the participatory appraisal methodology which emphasizes local
knowledge and enables locals to make their own analysis of the
problems that they face and identify their own solutions.
