To Rise in Darkness: Revolution, Repression, and Memory in El Salvador, 1920-1932
Jeffrey L. Gould & Aldo A. Lauria-Santiago
“To Rise in Darkness tells the story of the 1932 Communist-led uprising in El Salvador and the violent repression that followed, one of the most consequential events in Latin American history. As a prelude to the widespread terror that would sweep throughout Central America during the Cold War, this killing is beginning to receive scholarly attention, yet To Rise in Darkness will be the touchstone for future discussion of the 1932 revolt and massacre. Based on painstaking research and exhibiting a sharp conceptual focus, this book will influence scholarship on the relationship between political mobilization, ideology, and violence for years to come.”—Greg Grandin, author of The Blood of Guatemala: A History of Race and Nation

excellent example of a new generation of scholarship on El Salvador. It represents
a concerted effort to apply the insights of subaltern studies, gender studies,
historical anthropology, and cultural studies to the understanding of the country's
past."--Héctor Lindo-Fuentes, Director of the Latin American and Latino
Studies Institute, Fordham University
"Rarely
has history met contemporary cultural and political analysis of Latin America
on such fertile terrain. . . . A fresh, critical, interdisciplinary lens."--Charles
