Resumen:
The agenda of this book is to move “beyond enigma” by bringing the art of contextualizedhistorical analysis to the war that engulfed and redefined Peruvian society from 1980 to 1995. I have argued that the sense of enigma surrond the Sendero phenomenom and Peru more generally is understandable. But the task fadedhere is to historicize and contextualize the social origins, dynamics, and consequences of a time that constituted a major watershed, when much was at stake and long-lasting legacies were forged.
This book, then, is a collective effort to build a historical analysis of war and society in Peru´s time of upheaval. We undertake this task through analysis of five themes: the historical roots of political convulsion and revolutionary projects in the highlands, the failed struggle of Shinning Path to conquer the people of center-south highlands, the war experience of woman and their emergence as new citizen-subjects, and the consequences of the war for political rule and political culture.
These themes are considered in parts I to V, respectively, of this book, and in a brief conclusion that sets forth findings that cuts across the various book sections.
