Beyond Reintegration
This article proposes the concept of 'war veteranship' to better understand war veterans' positioning in and engagement with post-war societies and state-building processes. The study is based on ethnographic research with former insurgent movements, specifically the Mozambican National Resistance (RENAMO) in Mozambique and the Farabundo Martí Front for National Liberation (FMLN) in El Salvador. The concept of war veteranship allows for the explo…
The Debts of War
This article examines mobilization by civil war veterans of the insurgency and the government army. These veterans became a major political force in postwar El Salvador. I demonstrate that the ascendency of the war veterans hinged on the combination of two types of mobilization: “internal” mobilization for partisan leverage, and public mobilization to place claims on the state. By this bifurcated mobilization, veterans from both sides of the war …
Ambivalent Moderation
El Salvador’s FMLN is an oft-cited example of a rebel movement which successfully embraced electoral democracy. This article examines the ideological dimensions of this transformation. In the course of the Salvadoran peace process, the FMLN substantially overhauled its ideological orientation and associated modes of engagement with the state and the broader political system. Moderation unfolded in four subsequent stages: the resignification of re…
Arena, FMLN y los sucesos del 5 de julio del 2006 en El Salvador
Serious riots occurred in El Salvador on July 5, 2006. The country's worst postwar political violence until then resulted in two dead policemen, several wounded people and dozens of arrests. After these events, a different battle should be fought: to explain what happened and to find the culprits. July 5th marked a climax in the political polarization between right-wing Arena party (at the time in government) and the leftist fmln, the main opposi…
Roberto d’Aubuisson vs Schafik Handal
This article examines the memory work that former parties to the Salvadoran conflict engage in with regard to two key historical leaders: Roberto d’Aubuisson, on the right, and Schafik Handal, on the left. In spite of the peace process’ relative success, El Salvador continues to be politically divided. Narratives concerning the historical role of these two leaders and their respective organizations are mobilized frequently and emphatically in pol…
