Description

This text analyzes of the central role of ideas and ideologies surrounding the revolution in El Salvador. It proposes that the insurgency was not merely the charismatic embodiment of structurally determined processes, but that itwas the expression of a distinct and forceful political will. The focus is placed on the period of emergence of insurgency (approximately the 1970s and early 1980s), a period too often confounded (and not only in the Salvadoran case) with subsequent periods of the revolutionary cycle.
