This book offers novel insights about the ability of a democracy to
accommodate violence. In El Salvador, the end of war has brought
about a violent peace, one in which various forms of violence have
become incorporated into Salvadorans' imaginaries and enactments of
democracy. Based on ethnographic research, The Violence of
Democracy argues that war legacies and the country's
neoliberalization have enabled an intricate entanglement of
violence and political life in postwar El Salvador. This volume
explores various manifestations of this entanglement: the
clandestine connections between violent entrepreneurs and political
actors; the blurring of the licit and illicit through the
consolidation of economies of violence; and the reenactment of
latent wartime conflicts and political cleavages during postwar
electoral seasons. The author also discusses the potential for
grassroots memory work and a political party shift to foster
hopeful visions of the future and, ultimately, to transform the
country's violent democracy.
