With the official abolition of the Soviet Union in December 1991, an attitude emerged in the United States that the ends had justified the means. The means of fifty years of hostile Cold Warriorism had secured the end of the Soviet communism and Soviet domination over Eastern Europe. The question remains whether or not the American people learned anything from the hostility of the Cold War. The attitude that the Cold War secured the end of communism leads to grave problems in the search for peace and security. Can the American people and the American government live without an enemy? Will the American people be able to readjust their attitudes towards the former Soviet Union, throwing off the burden of an attitude steeped in mistrust and hostility? In looking at recent American perceptions of the Soviet Union during the Gorbachev era, one may question whether the American people can form a new image and perception of the Soviet people and government

However, the idea that women’s security should only be understood in terms of community security is still seen in multiple settings across cultures. This article is an exploration of the relationship between women’s security and community security in two communities: the Maya community of Guatemala and the Quiverfull community in the United States. Specifically, this article examines the parallels between challenges faced by indigenous women and girls in the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala, even with the assistance of NGOs providing sexual education and contraception, and challenges faced by women in a religious movement in the United States that promotes women’s surrender of control over their sexuality and reproduction. While both cultures include cultural and religious arguments against contraceptives and are grounded in male authority, the Quiverfull community provides a much more explicitly political reason for women to follow religious mandates. How women are asked to understand their own security is shaped by the idea that their health needs and control of their reproduction may be a threat to the needs of the community.

In addressing the role of ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this dissertation is based on the strength, tenacity, support, and encouragement of a variety of people. To all of these people lowe immense gratitude. Nevzat Soguk has been the best advisor one could ask for! Throughout this project, he guided my intellectual development and consistently provided me the confidence needed by always being available for advice, feedback, and the much-needed encouragement. I also appreciate the input and expertise of Drs. Henriksen, Henningsen, Manicas, and Shapiro. I thank Margot Henriksen for her guidance and close reading of the chapters; Manfred Henningsen and Peter Manicas for their support and skepticism that challenged me to defend my ideas and enhance my arguments; and to Michael Shapiro for his encouragement and contributions to my theoretical development. The support of my entire committee and their contributions were invaluable. Coupled with the intellectual and emotion support garnered from my committee, this dissertation would still be only an idea if was not for the love, support, and encouragement of friends and family. To my mother, Shirley Campos, thank you for sharing in my dreams and visions. Your strength, knowledge, and love have been guiding forces throughout my life. Finally, to the most important person in my life, my fabulous wife, Marta GonzaIez-Lloret, this dissertation only came to fruition because of the unabated support, enthusiasm, and love you have consistently given to me and this project. IV DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to the memory of my father, Lawrence Eugene Campos, who taught me the value of independent inquiry and analysis. v
