From Victims to Heroes: Peasant Counter-Rebellion and Civil War in Ayacucho, Peru, 1980-2000

Abstract

"This book attempts to enlarge our academic understanding of the causes, structural forms, and dynamics of violent peasant counter-rebellion. In addition, this book also investigates the history of the Peruvian civil war from the relatively neglected perspective of peasant counter-rebellion in an attempt to understand the peasantry's everyday experiences of political violence, and their responses to it."
