Dealing with Peace explores the relationship between the Guatemalan campesino social movement and state agrarian institutions in the period since the end of armed conflict in 1996.

Simon Granovsky-Larsen is Assistant Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of Regina.

"Theoretically informed, methodologically ambitious, and qualitatively rich, Dealing with Peace serves as a model for critical scholarship. Granovsky-Larsen demonstrates that the personal is political and that recognizing our subjectivity and solidarity with our research community is a strength, not a weakness."

Laura Macdonald, Department of Political Science and Institute of Political Economy, Carleton University:

"The depth and breadth of the knowledge displayed in Dealing with Peace is striking. Drawing upon years of involvement with the Guatemalan people, in addition to formal fieldwork, Simon Granovsky-Larsen reveals impressive insights and represents an engaged researcher, winning the confidence of embattled peasant communities in a country that continues to be racked by violence."
