Parallel to their artistic activities, several of these writers dedicated their time to political and military purposes. Through their work, they reacted against the military regime and against the social and literary establishment of the salvadoran society. The purpose of this research is twofold. On the one hand, an extensive collection of their texts is organized, not according to different types of literary genres or from a chronological point of view, but rather, taking into consideration the type of discourse that predominates on each specific text. On the other hand, this research contains an interpretation of their work.
Specific emphasis is placed on ideology, representation of the subaltern, politics, and testimony.
