She compares the Guatemalan and Nicaraguan experience to underline the importance of ethnicity for women’s activism during and after the civil conflict. The first part of the book traces the influence of armed conflict on contemporary women’s activism, by combining an analysis of women’s personal histories with an analysis of structural and contextual factors. This critical analysis forms the basis of the second part of the book, which discusses several alternative forms of women’s activism rooted in indigenous practices  The book thereby combines a micro- and macro-level analysis to present a sound understanding of post-conflict women’s activism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of illustrations and tables Abbreviations Preface and acknowledgements Introduction  PART I:  THE INFLUENCE OF CONFLICT AND ITS AFTERMATH ON THE WOMEN'S MOVEMENT 1.
