During the civil war that wracked El Salvador from the mid-1970s to the
early 1990s, the Salvadoran military tried to stamp out dissidence and
insurgency through an aggressive campaign of crop-burning, kidnapping,
rape, killing, torture, and gruesome bodily mutilations. Even as human
rights violations drew world attention, repression and war displaced
more than a quarter of El Salvadors population, both inside the country
and beyond its borders. Beyond Displacement examines how the peasant
campesinos of war-torn northern El Salvador responded to violence by
taking to the hills. Molly Todd demonstrates that their flight was not
hasty and chaotic, but was a deliberate strategy that grew out of a
longer history of collective organization, mobilization, and
self-defense.
