In Exiled Home, Susan Bibler Coutin recounts the experiences of
Salvadoran children who migrated with their families to the United
States during the 1980-1992 civil war. Because of their youth and
the violence they left behind, as well as their uncertain legal
status in the United States, many grew up with distant memories of
El Salvador and a profound sense of disjuncture in their adopted
homeland. Through interviews in both countries, Coutin examines how
they sought to understand and overcome the trauma of war and
displacement through such strategies as recording community
histories, advocating for undocumented immigrants, forging new
relationships with the Salvadoran state, and, for those deported
from the United States, reconstructing their lives in El Salvador.
In focusing on the case of Salvadoran youth, Coutin's nuanced
analysis shows how the violence associated with migration can be
countered through practices that recuperate historical memory while
also reclaiming national membership.
