Abstract

During its twelve-year guerrilla war, the Farabundo Magi National Liberation Front (FMLN) of El Salvador attempted to educate its troops, most of whom, recruited from the peasantry, were illiterate or barely literate. Education covered three main topics: basic literacy, technical training - both of which gave combatants skills necessary to the war effort - and political orientation, regarded as reinforcing their motivation to fight. The FMLN worked with the techniques and assumptions of popular education, according to which many teachers are only slightly more educated than their pupils, political content and pedagogy are combined, and everyone is urged to learn and assumed to be capable of learning, regardless of background. Educating peasant combatants was an expression of the FMLN's egalitarian ideology but at the same time highlighted differences due to social origin and between men and women. The educational process contributed importantly to the FMLN's relative military success and had a major impact on the combatants. Key words: Guerrilla war, peasant war, popular education, literacy; El Salvador

Abstract

Times change, the searchlight moves on to illuminate the next crisis, but there are some, like the photographer Larry Towell, who stay on, to tell the story no one wants to hear any longer. Bloody and disgusting as the crime was, what was perhaps most shocking was the impression it gave that in El Salvador nothing had changed and after all the United States money, all the equipment, all the advisers, US-trained troops could still be found committing spectacular atrocities against unarmed civilians, priests and women.
