Content:
Poets and Prophets of the Resistance offers a ground-up history and fresh interpretation of the polarization and mobilization that brought El Salvador to the eve of civil war in 1980. Challenging the dominant narrative that university students and political dissidents primarily formed the Salvadoran guerrillas, Joaquín Chávez considers the historical context of El Salvador's socioeconomic and political crises of the 1970s, arguing that those structural upheavals fomented a groundswell of urban and peasant intellectuals who collaborated to spur larger revolutionary social movements.
