With special focus on the relationship between the movement and the neoliberal state, Simon Granovsky-Larsen asks whether the acceptance of neoliberal resources – in this case, support for land access in Guatemala provided by the World Bank-funded \u003ci\u003eFondo de Tierras\u003c\/i\u003e – reduces the potential for social movements to continue to work for transformative change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePositioned in contrast to studies warning that social movements cannot maintain their original vision after accepting such support, this book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eargues that organizations within the Guatemalan campesino movement have engaged strategically with neoliberalism, utilizing available resources to advance visions of social change. Using a wealth of primary data collected over more than a year of fieldwork, it contributes significantly to the study of Guatemalan politics and advances understandings of the grounded operation of neoliberalism. Exploring both the dynamics of a national neoliberal transition and the ways in which these play out within civil society, \u003ci\u003eDealing with Peace\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the long-term and often contradictory negotiation of political and economic transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Tables, Figures, and Illustrations\u003cbr\u003eMap: Location of Main Research Sites\u003cbr\u003eAcronyms\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDispossession, Violence, and Poverty\u003cbr\u003ePositioning the Case Studies: CCDA and CONIC\u003cbr\u003eMethodology: Activist Research Amid Violence\u003cbr\u003eOverview of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
