› Find signed collectible books: 'The El Mozote Massacre: Anthropology and Human Rights'
The 1981 slaughter of more than a thousand civilians around El Mozote, El Salvador, by the country's U.S.-trained army was the largest massacre of the Salvadoran civil war. The story was coveredand soon forgottenby the international news media. It was revived in 1993 only when the U.S. government was accused of covering up the incident. Such reportage, argues anthropologist Leigh Binford, sustains the perception that the lives of Third World people are only newsworthy when some great tragedy strikes. He critiques the practices of journalists and human rights organizations for their dehumanizing studies of "subjects" and "victims." Binford suggests that such accounts objectify the people involved through statistical analyses and bureaucratic body counts while the news media sensationalize the motives and personalities of the perpetrators. In relating the story of this tragic event, Binford restores a sense of history and social identity to the fallen people of this Salvadoran village. Drawing on interviews he conducted with El Mozote-area residents, he offers a rich ethnographic and personal account of their lives prior to the tragedy. He provides an overview of the history and culture of the area and tells how such a massacre could have happened, why it was covered up, and why it could happen again. [via]

Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are five small countries, and yet no other part of the world is more important to the US. This book explains the history of US/Central American relations, explaining why these countries have remained so overpopulated, illiterate and violent; and why US government notions of economic and military security combine to keep in place a system of Central American dependency. This second edition is updated to include new material covering the Reagan and Bush years, and the Iran/Contra affair. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Little Red Riding Hood in the Red Light District'
Salvadoran author Manlio Argueta spent almost 20 years exiled from his native land during the turbulent decades of the El Salvadoran civil war. During that time he completed this, his second novel, which went on to became a huge success in his own country. The hero of this allegorical tale is Alfonso, a young student turned radical who eventually abandons his clandestine printing press and joins the guerrilla forces in the countryside. Before that, however, Alfonso is involved in a passionate love affair with his own "Little Red Riding Hood," whom he leaves pregnant in "the Red Light District," the impoverished barrio where he lives, (and also the allegorical name for El Salvador's repressive regime) when he goes off to war. Told through letters, dialogs and narrative, Argueta's political novel is both a compelling work of art and a vivid portrait of the lives of ordinary people in 1970s El Salvador. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Martyrs: Contemporary Writers on Modern Lives of Faith'
Twenty original essays by distinguished contemporary writers trace an indelible portrait of the martyrs of our century, documenting a struggle that has played out across the boundaries of nations and between the realm of culture and the province of the sacred. The stories of these remarkable individuals who chose faith at the cost of life demonstrate that what remains, after the drama of their agonizing deaths, is a legacy of inspiring faith.
"Now in this century, which has produced more martyrs than all other centuries combined, the time has come to honor the newly fallen. I find the lineup in this book, both of subjects and authors, simply stunning." --Philip Yancey, author of "The Jesus I Never Knew"
"Unsentimental, critical, and penetrating, this book most directly confronts me with the question: 'Who are you willing to die for?' With its gripping stories about contemporary martyrs it exposes the immense challenge of a committed life."
--Henri Nouwen
"This book offers both fact and insight concerning one of the deepest mysteries in human experience: Why would a person willingly give up his or her own life for reasons of faith or for social justice?...What seems to emerge in these accounts is the truth that love, the greatest commandment, sometimes requires of God's faithful the ultimate sacrifice, one that love enables them willingly to make." --Alfred Corn, editor of "Incarnation: Contemporary Writers on the New Testament"
"This book belongs in every Christian's arsenal." --David Neff, executive editor, "Christianity Today"
"The stories...are the pounding heart of this luminous book." --Mark A. Noll, professor of history, Wheaton College

› Find signed collectible books: 'One Day of Life'
Awesome for the authenticity of its vernacular style and the incandescence of its lyricism, One Day of Life depicts a typical day in the life of a peasant family caught up in the terror and corruption of civil war in El Salvador. 5:30 A.M. in Chalate, a small rural town: Lupe, the grandmother of the Guardado family and the central figure of the novel, is up and about doing her chores. By 5:00 P.M. the plot of the novel has been resolved, with the Civil Guard's search for and interrogation of Lupe's young granddaughter, Adolfina. Told entirely from the perspective of the resilient women of the Guardado family, One Day of Life is not only a disturbing and inspiring evocation of the harsh realities of peasant life in El Salvador after fifty years of military exploitation; it is also a mercilessly accurate dramatization of the relationship of the peasants to both the state and the church. Translated from the Spanish by Bill Brow [via]
