Tales of War in Rural El Salvador: A Social Worker's Rememberances of Post-War El Salvador

Authors

  • Margaret Oakes University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Abstract

As another war explodes, the author recalls her trip to El Salvador, where she worked as a research assistant on an international project on the health effects of war in rural El Salvador. The author weaves in stories from native residents with descriptions of the places she visited and her experiences in order to give readers a feel for the environment in which the war took place. It is an attempt to make both people and place take on real characteristics rather than the statistic representations that often are all that remain in our minds after a war.
