"Reimagining National Belonging "is the first sustained critical
examination of post-civil war El Salvador. It describes how one
nation, after an extended and divisive conflict, took up the
challenge of generating social unity and shared meanings around
ideas of the nation. In tracing state-led efforts to promote the
concepts of national culture, history, and identity, Robin DeLugan
highlights the sites and practices--as well as the complexities--of
nation-building in the twenty-first century.
Examining events that unfolded between 1992 and 2011, DeLugan both
illustrates the idiosyncrasies of state and society in El Salvador
and opens a larger portal into conditions of constructing a state
in the present day around the globe--particularly the process of
democratization in an age of neoliberalism. She demonstrates how
academics, culture experts, popular media, and the United Nations
and other international agencies have all helped shape ideas about
national belonging in El Salvador. She also reveals the efforts
that have been made to include populations that might have been
overlooked, including indigenous people and faraway citizens not
living inside the country's borders. And she describes how history
and memory projects have begun to recall the nation's violent past
with the goal of creating a more just and equitable nation.
This illuminating case study fills a gap in the scholarship about
culture and society in contemporary El Salvador, while offering an
"ethnography of the state" that situates El Salvador in a global
context.
