AB - The paper examines political conflict within communities of Guatemalan returnees. It challenges assumptions regarding the cohesion and homogeneity of such communities. An analysis of conflict in one particular community is broadened to illustrate generalized internal conflict amongst returnees on a regional level and in local politics. The source of conflict is traced to the effects of political organization and awareness-raising (particularly amongst women) which occurred while the returnees were in refugee camps in Mexico, conflict over resources and differing attitudes to cooperation with the national government, the private sector and popular forces on the Guatemalan left The final section of the paper examines the consequences of the internal conflict with regard to the returnees' struggle for land, the possibility of overcoming the culture of fear and insecurity linked to the civil war, opportunities for obtaining development funds, and the place of women in the decision-making structures and processes of the communities © Oxford University Press « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article Journal of Refugee Studies (1997) 10 (1): 61-78. doi: 10.1093/jrs/10.1.61 » Abstract Free Full Text (PDF) Free Classifications Article Services Article metrics Alert me when cited Alert me if corrected Find similar articles Similar articles in Web of Science Add to my archive Download citation Request Permissions Citing Articles Load citing article information Citing articles via CrossRef Citing articles via Scopus Citing articles via Web of Science Citing articles via Google Scholar Google Scholar Articles by KRZNARIC, R.
