The Soy Boom in Argentina: A Blessing or a Curse? .
Vis sammendrag
Over the last twenty years Argentina has been through a transformation of the agrarian sector, generated by export driven growth, to a large extent based on the new biotechnology associated with gene modified (GM) soy production. This export driven growth strategy was expected to help the Argentine government to reduce poverty and inequality through revenues from export tax on agricultural products, especially soy and its derivatives. The expansion of GM soy was also expected to have positive environmental effects because of savings from reduced pesticide use and reduced soil erosion due to less intensive tilling. In terms of economic growth the Argentina’s transition to GM soy has been a success. However, there seem to be an increasing conflict between the economic success and socio-ecological sustainability.
The impact of the expansion of soy production varies throughout the country according to the agrarian structure and social conditions before the “GMO revolution”. In the pampas, previously dominated by large cattle and grain farms, there has been a change in land use, without major changes in the structure of land ownership. In poor peasant areas, previously unattractive for modern agricultural production until the introduction of GM crops, changes in land tenure and ownership have been dramatic leading to displacement of peasants and increased rural exodus.
In this paper, based on long-standing anthropological fieldwork in Santa Fe province, I will analyse the impact of the expansion of soy in farmer areas previously characterised by mechanised family farms and vigorous rural communities. The impact of the GMO revolution is less far-reaching in the this area compared to other parts of the country, where production no longer is controlled by farmers, but by large commercial companies with limited interest in environment and sustainability. Although there has been a gradual increase in soy cultivation locally, soy has not eradicated other crops and/or livestock as in many other parts of Argentina. Nevertheless, the soy boom has resulted in major economic and social changes in the countryside. The land is producing more than ever, but the vigorous rural communities that I studied in the 1970 and 1980 are dying.

Responding to economic opportunities: Changes in land tenure and use among Argentine farmers.
Vis sammendrag
Land distribution, tenure and use are subjects of growing interest in Argentina given the prominence land issues have acquired in recent decades due to the soy boom. Concentration of land by certain business concerns, investment in land by urban investors, the displacement of small producers in some rural areas and new models of management dominated by leasing have changed the rural landscape.
This paper, based on a longitudinal anthropological study initiated in 1973, focuses on changes in land tenure and use among farmers in the northern part of Santa Fe province. It explores individual and collective strategies adopted by the farmers historically to reproduce their farms, their homes and “the farmer way of life” within an increasingly capitalist environment. The expansion of transgenic soybeans, initiated in 1996, embraced by the farmers, produced radical changes in the farmer communities, not only in terms of property rights, land tenure and use, but also in terms of mentality. I explore the socio-economic transformation that have occurred, whereby most farmers have given up farming and migrated to the pueblo, renting out their land to the few who have managed to stay in business. The land is producing more than ever, but the vigorous rural communities that I studied in the 1970 and 1980 are vanishing.

Place and Identity among Guatemalan Returnees.
Vis sammendrag
This paper is based on fieldwork among returned refugees who are in the process of constructing a new multiethnic community in Northern Guatemala. It is argued that the shared experience of violence has been constitutive in building community in exile as well as after return. The creation of community is based on a �negative tradition� by actively keeping memories of violence and suffering alive to elaborate the process of mourning to attain some form of release and to prevent violence to overpower them again. The Guatemalan returnees have, however, brought the negative tradition beyond the personal sphere into the public through political action. We will see that the returnee community is carefully planned to prevent the problems of the past, including to withstand government incursion into the physical well-being of its members.

Forging Indian Identity: Guatemala's Violent Transition to Modernity.
Vis sammendrag
The paper discusses the increasing tensions in Guatemal between the
popular movement, comprising both Indian and non-Indians focusing on
exclusion based on poverty and social inequality, and the Maya
movement,exclusively Indian, focusing on discrimination and exclusion
based ethnicity. First, it draws attention to the historical
antecedents of this division, then discusses differences in orientation
and stategies. It shows that both movements make political claims in
the language of universal rights, though drawing on different legal
instruments and both depend on international financial support for
their activities. Finally the author draws on her ethnographic material
froma multiethnic community in Petén to illustrate how Guatemalan
peasants who are returned refugees and associated with the popular
movement, conceive of themselves and the Maya movement.

From victims of war to agents of change: Returnees in Guatemala.
Vis sammendrag
Based on fieldwork in a returnee community in Guatemala, this paper challenges the increasingly widespread view among anthropologists that humanitarian agencies represent people in armed conflicts as helpless victims, devoid of any history or agency, and consequently create aid dependants. The experiences of Guatemalan refugees in Mexico give a more complex picture. The fact they are referred to, and also refer to themselves as ¿uprooted¿ and ¿victims of war¿, does not mean that they act as passive recipients of aid. Different from their sedentary neighbours who became muted and pacified under military control, the returnees see themselves and act as privileged agents of economic and social change and democracy, something they associate with their experience of exile and particularly with the interaction with Mexican and international humanitarian agencies. The paper discusses how their interaction with members of aid institutions has contributed to changes in ideas and practices among different groups of returnees and the impact of these changes for the construction of a new multi-ethnic community in Guatemala.

Based on fieldwork among Guatemalan returnees in Petén, the paper focuses on the experience of organisation among Guatemalan refugees in exile in Mexico, highlighting the gendered nature of this process. To what extent was a new imagined community, involving changing social relations of gender built in exile, and what happened when the refugees returned to Guatemala?

Etter seks år med vanskelige forhandlinger ble en endelige fredsavtale mellom den guatemalanske regjering og URNG undertegnet i Desember 1996. Denne avtalen markerte slutten på 36 års borgerkrig i Guatemala og initierte en overgangsperiode fra væpnet konflikt til rehabilitering og utvikling. Avtalen dannet også et rammeverk for behandlingen av flytninger og internt fordrevne. Denne artikkelen setter fokus på situasjonen til returnerte flyktninger som etter mer enn ti års landforvisning i Mexico nå er i gang med å skape seg en ny fremtid i hjemlandet.

ABSTRACT
The study investigates traditional knowledge of forest plant resources in a resettlement community in the Lacandon neotropical rainforest of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Guatemala. The relevance of vascular plant diversity regarding consumption and other daily needs of the population are explored. Relatively few species are presently being used, with the exception of timber species where knowledge seems to be increasing. Traditional knowledge has been maintained in certain cases such as for curing illnesses that are not recognized by western medicine. Nature as such is regarded as important primarily as potential capital not for its subsistence capital. We find that the refugee situation has led to processes of both deskilling and reskilling into a more global type of knowledge. Still there continues to be a dynamic local, intuitive knowledge arising directly from practical experiences, which is important as safety net for people living in or close to the forest. Two interlinked factors have been the driving forces altering the knowledge of and use of natural resources by the people in La Quetzal : change in the natural environment and change in the of social and economic environment.
