This article analyzes the political emergence of El Salvador's "post-postwar generation" through a consideration of activists' relationships to a political and revolutionary "party line," la línea. This generation comprises people born at the end of, or after, the 1980-92 civil war. They have little or no memory of the war but have grown up in intense violence. The authors worked with members of this generation in distinct sites: in Segundo Montes Community, in a corner of the country once guerrilla territory, and in San Salvador, among middle-class activists. Their self-recognition as politically consequential, echoing youth around the globe, first developed through moments of hope-in memory of struggle and in the electoral victory of the party of former revolutionaries-and then through frustration, as those in power, including ex-guerrilla leaders, resisted opening to new generations and proved themselves as corrupt as their predecessors
