Research Title: <\/strong>Recordando a los Mayas: Contributions of the Indigenous Women in Guatemala: Work in Progress<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: <\/strong>Women during the Guatemalan civil war (1960-1996) played an integral role for both sides of the conflict.  Gender norms are critical in looking at how men and women approached the conflict.  Assessing how indigenous women broke these norms and removed barriers in order to participate in this conflict is an area that will be covered in this research.  Additionally, this study addresses how individuals on both sides of the conflict perceived each other, particularly indigenous women that were part of this armed struggle.   Previous research done in Central America involving armed conflicts have used image theory successfully to determine perceptions of opposing parties (Cottam, Baltodano, & Garc\u00eda, 2011).  This research seeks to do the same in applying image theory to the Guatemalan conflict.  Specifically, this research focuses on how parties viewed each other through image theory and how indigenous women mobilized themselves and led to the success of incorporating women in the conflict and in the Peace Accords of 1996.  The second component of this research looks at how women were involved in the peace talks that allowed the conflict to come to its end in the late 1990\u2019s.  This work relies on peer reviewed historical records and other scholarly sources to assess the perceptions of women and the extent of their participation during the armed conflict in Guatemala.  Interviews have also been conducted and relied on heavily with participants who took part in the civilian conflict and used as empirical evidence to draw conclusions.  A working hypothesis for this paper is that significant discrepancies will emerge between the actual and perceived participation and mobilization of women in the Guatemalan armed conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
