Description

Everyday Revolutionaries provides a longitudinal and rigorous analysis of the legacies of war in a community racked by political violence. By exploring political processes in considered one of El Salvador’s former war zones-a region known for its peasant revolutionary participation-Irina Carlota Silber offers a searing portrait of the entangled aftermaths of disagreement and displacement, aftermaths that experience produced continued deception and marginalization.

Silber provides probably the most first rubrics for working out and contextualizing postwar disillusionment, drawing on her ethnographic fieldwork and research on immigration to the USA by former insurgents. With an eye for gendered experiences, she unmasks how community members are asked, contradictorily and in different contexts, to relinquish their identities as “revolutionaries” and to develop a new sense of themselves as productive yet marginal postwar citizens by means of the similar “participation” that fueled their revolutionary action. Beautifully written and offering wealthy stories of hope and despair, Everyday Revolutionaries contributes to essential debates in public anthropology and the ethics of engaged research practices.
