Synopsis

In Central America, as in other regions where protracted wars have caused large-scale forced migration, the issues of repatriation and repopulation are of growing interest and concern. "Places of Origin" provides an account of the collective return of refugees and displaced persons, despite a continuing civil war, to the villagers they once fled in rural El Salvador. This increasingly significant popular movement represents a complex development in the history of the region's conflicts. The authors' analysis of the repopulation of conflict zones in El Salvador chronicles the Salvadorean army's displacement operations, the hardships associated with displacement both inside and outside the country, the mechanics of popular organization, the negotiating skill of grassroots groups that led to successive collective returns and the stance of the Salvadoran government and armed forces with respect to repopulation. The book is based on two years of on-site research among the displaced, as well as extensive inteviews with civilian authorities, the military and nongovernmental organizations in El Salvador.
