Revolution in the Revolution? El Salvador and the End of the Cold War
The talk will present preliminary results from research on insurgency and counter-insurgency in El Salvador from the 1970s to the 1990s. After over a decade of protracted civil war, how did war end? What did it reveal about the final decade and closure of the global Cold War?
Jeremy Adelman is the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History and Director of the Global History Lab at Princeton University. He is the author of four books, most recently Worldly Philosopher: The Odyssey of Albert O. Hirschman (2013). He is currently at work on two books: Latin America: A Global History, forthcoming with Princeton University Press; and Earth Hunger, a study of how writers and artists, diplomats and ecologists, have been wrestling with the meaning of global inter-dependence and attitudes to strangers from the 1850s to the present.
