Rutgers University Press20111 online resource (261 p.)Genocide, political violence, human rights seriesDescription based upon print version of record.0-8135-4934-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Entangled aftermaths -- Histories of violence/histories of organizing -- Rank and file history -- NGOs in the postwar period -- Not revolutionary enough? -- Cardboard democracy -- Conning revolutionaries -- The postwar highway -- Epilogue: amor lejos, amor de pendejos.Everyday Revolutionaries provides a longitudinal and rigorous analysis of the legacies of war in a community racked by political violence. By exploring political processes in one of El Salvador's former war zones-a region known for its peasant revolutionary participation-Irina Carlota Silber offers a searing portrait of the entangled aftermaths of confrontation and displacement, aftermaths that have produced continued deception and marginalization. Silber provides one of the first rubrics for understanding and contextualizing postwar disillusionment, drawing on her ethnographic fieldwork and research on immigration to the United States by former insurgents. With an eye for gendered experiences, she unmasks how community members are asked, contradictorily and in different contexts, to relinquish their identities as "revolutionaries" and to develop a new sense of themselves as productive yet marginal postwar citizens via the same "participation" that fueled their revolutionary action. Beautifully written and offering rich stories of hope and despair, Everyday Revolutionaries contributes to important debates in public anthropology and the ethics of engaged research practices.Genocide, political violence, human rights series.Postwar reconstructionSocial aspectsEl SalvadorRevolutionariesEl SalvadorCase studiesPolitical activistsEl SalvadorCase studiesEl SalvadorHistory1992-El SalvadorSocial conditionsEl SalvadorPolitics and government1992-El SalvadorEmigration and immigrationSocial aspectsPostwar reconstructionSocial aspectsRevolutionariesPolitical activists972.8405/4Silber Irina Carlota1968-1609881MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816968603321Everyday revolutionaries3937351UNINA
