Reckoning
The Ends of War in Guatemala
By Diane Nelson, Duke University
"The struggle to understand violence is a consuming task for many around the globe. Diane M. Nelson articulates stunning insights into the problem of understanding the violence in Guatemala and, by extension, our whole world of war and structural harm."
-Catherine A. Lutz, editor of The Bases of Empire: The Global Struggle against U.S. Military Posts
"Reckoning can be described as an outline of a 'reparation ecology,' a field that seems destined to expand in the years to come, as more and more 'cruel little wars' repeat themselves in places and landscapes across the world. The book is, above all, about what comes 'after war,' that is, how war makes people through forces that include duplicity and desire, despair and the continued hope to believe. It is, in short, about reckoning as a complex social, cultural, and political process and the ensuing ecologies of reparation in which we are all summoned to participate."
-Arturo Escobar, author of Territories of Difference: Place, Movements, Life, Redes
Diane M. Nelson is Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. She is the author of A Finger in the Wound: Body Politics in Quincentennial Guatemala.
