In Revolutionaries on the Postwar Highway: Disillusionment in El
Salvador, the author chronicles the political violence, collective
trauma, and continued injustice for the people of El Salvador as
they transition to peace and democracy following the twelve-year
civil war between the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front and
the Salvadoran government. The book is centered largely upon twenty
months of fieldwork spanning from 1993-2007 in the former war zone
of Chalatenango. Following the war, this area was the focus of
national and international reconstruction projects. The book is
mainly structured around two central moments, the immediate postwar
period of reconstruction (1993-1998), and the more recent period of
emigration to the United States (2000-2007). Giving a long term
view of what happens in the aftermath of a protracted war, Silber
traces the lives of the rank and file members of this historic
struggle for justice and reconstruction, following community
members along their journey from revolutionary activists to postwar
development recipients and ambivalent grassroots actors, to in many
cases now undocumented migrants. Silber pays particular attention
to the gendered dimensions of the clash between a revolutionary
social project and the demands of postwar reconstruction and
neoliberalism. She argues that the dynamics of postwar rebuilding
served to remarginalize members of destroyed communities. This book
will contribute to the recent wave of anthropological scholarship
on political violence, providing an important case study on
transitional justice and reconciliation.
