The following paper focuses on race, and the nature of negotiated transitions, as well as the thin line between political and social conflict; a line which is often blurred during democratic transitions. In addition to looking at South Africa's own experience (cf. reports in the Race and Citizenship in Transition Series), the paper incorporates an in-depth examination of these same elements during the course of Guatemala's own transition to democracy.
