Book excerpt: This paper examines how ex-combatants of El Salvador's 1980-1992 civil war view post-war processes of reconciliation. I demonstrate that contrary to dominant understandings of ongoing political polarization in El Salvador, perpetuated by Salvadoran political parties, many former army and guerrilla combatants are coexisting in the same communities and working together in various ways. I show how the Salvadoran Peace Accords and the apparent political polarization has opened a space for the recreation of social networks and the creation of communities in post-war societies. I call this process "grassroots peacemaking," emphasizing the everyday negotiations of remembering and creating new social relations in a nation torn apart by war and violence.

Download or read book Revolution In El Salvador written by Tommie Sue Montgomery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1982, El Salvador has experienced the most radical social change in its history. Ten years of civil war, in which a tenacious and creative revolutionary movement battled a larger, better-equipped, US-supported army to a standstill, have ended with 20 months of negotiations and a peace accord that promises to change the course of Salvadorean society and politics. This book traces the history of El Salvador, focusing on the oligarchy and the armed forces, that shaped the Salvadorean army and political system. Concentrating on the period since 1960, the author sheds new light on the US role in the increasing militarization of the country and the origins of the oligarchy-army rupture in 1979. Separate chapters deal with the Catholic church and the revolutionary organizations, which challenged the status quo after 1968. In the new edition, Dr Montgomery continues the story from 1982 to the present, offering a detailed account of the evolution of the war. She examines why Duarte's two inaugural promises, peace and economic prosperity could not be fulfilled and analyzes the electoral victory of the oligarchy in 1989. The final chapters closely follow the peace negotiations, ending with an assessment of the peace accords, and evaluate the future prospects for El Salvador and for the 1994 elections.

Download or read book El Salvador in the Aftermath of Peace written by Ellen Moodie and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Salvador's civil war, which left at least 75,000 people dead and displaced more than a million, ended in 1992. The accord between the government and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN) has been lauded as a model post-Cold War peace agreement. But after the conflict stopped, crime rates shot up. The number of murder victims surpassed wartime death tolls. Those who once feared the police and the state became frustrated by their lack of action. Peace was not what Salvadorans had hoped it would be. Citizens began saying to each other, "It's worse than the war." El Salvador in the Aftermath of Peace: Crime, Uncertainty, and the Transition to Democracy challenges the pronouncements of policy analysts and politicians by examining Salvadoran daily life as told by ordinary people who have limited influence or affluence. Anthropologist Ellen Moodie spent much of the decade after the war gathering crime stories from various neighborhoods in the capital city of San Salvador. True accounts of theft, assaults, and murders were shared across kitchen tables, on street corners, and in the news media. This postconflict storytelling reframed violent acts, rendering them as driven by common criminality rather than political ideology. Moodie shows how public dangers narrated in terms of private experience shaped a new interpretation of individual risk. These narratives of postwar violence—occurring at the intersection of self and other, citizen and state, the powerful and the powerless—offered ways of coping with uncertainty during a stunted transition to democracy.

Download or read book El Salvador: An Example for Conflict Resolution written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twelve years, El Salvador was mired in a civil war that polarized all segments of Salvadoran society and that reflected deeply rooted economic, social, and political problems. Yet, El Salvador negotiated an end to its war in 1991. Why did these negotiations succeed? How did the peace process help drive the broader progress in political development and democratization? To what extend can the Salvadoran experience serve as an example for other nations, and offer broader insights into theories of comparative politics and political development? This thesis argues that three related developments facilitated the peace process of El Salvador. After a bloody decade of war that began in 1979, both the Salvadoran government and the Frente Farabundo Marti para Ia Liberacion Nacional (FMLN) came to recognize that neither side could hope to win through force. This recognition spurred an unprecedented willingness on both sides to negotiate. Second, changes in the international system encouraged negotiations, particularly as political shifts within the Soviet Union dried up the FMLN's sources of outside support. But many of these promises of assistance have not been kept. El Salvador faces severe economic and political problems, and these problems could impede full implementation of the peace accords. Ultimately, continued democratization in El Salvador -- and elsewhere in Latin America -- can only be based on political commitment, social justice, and economic growth. The international community can help facilitate the resolution of conflicts and aid the process of democratization. Nevertheless, the Salvadoran case suggests that the most critical prerequisites are the shared recognition that violence cannot provide victory, and that compromise and consensus is in the interest of all parties to the conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Cold War world, this monograph draws on entirely new documentary evidence to chronicle almost two years worth of UN-led peace talks to end the civil war in El Salvador. Presented in 'moment-to-moment' fashion, hitherto private notes and interviews with the chief UN, American and Salvadoran negotiators demonstrate that the key to enduring peace was to restructure relations between the country's powerful entrepreneurs and the armed forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El Salvador is widely considered one of the most successful United Nations peacebuilding efforts, but record homicide rates, political polarization, socioeconomic exclusion, and corruption have diminished the quality of peace for many of its citizens. In Captured Peace: Elites and Peacebuilding in El Salvador, Christine J. Wade adapts the concept of elite capture to expand on the idea of “captured peace,” explaining how local elites commandeered political, social, and economic affairs before war’s end and then used the peace accords to deepen their control in these spheres. While much scholarship has focused on the role of gangs in Salvadoran unrest, Wade draws on an exhaustive range of sources to demonstrate how day-to-day violence is inextricable from the economic and political dimensions. In this in-depth analysis of postwar politics in El Salvador, she highlights the local actors’ primary role in peacebuilding and demonstrates the political advantage an incumbent party—in this case, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA—has throughout the peace process and the consequences of this to the quality of peace that results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation analyzes how the Salvadoran state, civil war veterans, and gang members share a common understanding of peace that enables them to occupy the paradoxical position of being both purveyors of violence and “peacemakers.” I conducted this work in a violent, distrustful and hyper-masculine context with the help of civil war veterans who were mentoring relatives in youth gangs to support their efforts to make peace with other gangs and the government. Throughout my 2011 - 2015 ethnographic research in San Salvador, I found that many women, relatives of civil war veterans and gang member interlocutors, characterized the 1992 Peace Accords as una paz masculinista (a masculinist peace). While la paz maculinista denotes the absence of violence between men in conflict, for women living with social and gender violence and struggling with poverty reinforced by neoliberal economic policies, life was anything but peaceful. I build on Johan Galtung’s concept of “negative” and “positive” peace by using an intersectional theory perspective. I argue that the postwar experience is shaped by a negative notion of peace that is highly gendered. I further complicate the state’s notion of postwar peacemaking through an analysis of the rise of gang and femicidal violence, and the state’s punitive responses to both as a measure to attain peace. I discovered that gangs use their own peacemaking efforts to question the state’s racialized violence and human rights violations against its members. However, neither top-down (state-led) nor bottom-up (gang-led) peacemaking efforts have seriously grappled with violence against women or with the harsh realities of living under neoliberalism. My dissertation contends that to build a lasting peace, peacemaking in El Salvador must address not just ending war, but transforming economic inequality, class-based political exclusion, and racialized and gendered violence

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Healing the Body Politic" examines the contested place of health and development in El Salvador over the last two decades. It recounts the dramatic story of radical health activism from its origins in liberation theology and guerrilla medicine during the third-world country's twelve-year civil war, through development of a remarkable "popular health system," administered by lay providers in a former war zone controlled by leftist rebels. The ethnography contributes to the integration of medical and political anthropology by bringing the semiotics of health and the body to bear on cultural understandings of warfare, the state, and globalization.

An Epilogue analyzes the 1994 elections. Dr. Montgomery's prognosis in the first edition—that no lasting, viable political solution was possible without the participation of the revolutionary organizations—has been borne out by events: Today the FMLN is a legal political party.
