<DIV>Between 1960 and 1996, Guatemala’s civil war claimed 250,000 lives and displaced a 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. <I>War by Other Means</I> brings together new essays by leading scholars of Guatemala from a range of geographical backgrounds and disciplinary perspectives.</p><P>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 the Guatemalan elite’s centuries-long use of violence to suppress dissent to studies of intimate experiences of complicity and contestation in richly drawn localities, <I>War by Other Means</I> provides a nuanced reckoning of the injustices that made genocide possible and ongoing attempts to overcome them.</P><P><I>Contributors. </I>Santiago Bastos, Jennifer Burrell, Manuela Camus, Matilde González-Izás, Jorge Ramón González Ponciano, Greg Grandin, Paul Kobrak, Deborah T.
