"Citizenship and Political Violence in Peru" recounts the hidden
history of how local processes of citizen formation in an Andean
town were persistently overruled from the nineteenth century on,
thereby perpetuating antagonism toward the Peruvian state and
political centralism. The analysis points to the importance of two
long-term processes. One reflected the memory of earlier municipal
citizenship and the possibilities of political change; the other
stemmed from the outlawing of political opposition which pushed
radical dissent underground and into extremism, creating the
conditions for the political violence in the 1980s. The book builds
on the detailed study of a unique municipal archive in Tarma and
ethnographic research from both before and after the violence.
