Description: "During the 1989 uprising, 8,000 refugees began their return to an FMLN zone of influence at Ciudad Segunda Montes, a process soon followed by the authors' two years of research visits. Topical chapters provide short vignettes on the issues a rebuilding community faces in the context of a concluding civil war. Rich in voices and descriptions (alongside some boosterism), thin in social theorizing (understandable, given the authors' aims)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
