Description
Grenier offers a greater understanding of the causes of revolution in El Salvador through an analysis of the central role of ideas and ideologues. The insurgency used to be not merely the charismatic embodiment of structurally decided processes, as it’s frequently suggested, it used to be the expression of a distinct and forceful political will. The point of interest is placed at the period of emergence of insurgency (kind of, the 1970s and early 1980s), a period too continuously confounded (and not only within the Salvadoran case) with subsequent periods of the revolutionary cycle.
