Hi Tim,
I have a couple of other book suggestions:
"From Grandmother to Grandaughter: Salvadoran Women's stories." I actually read it in spanish, but loved it for giving the real life flavor of three generations of different classes of Salvadoran women. It was originally written in English.
Also Tina Rosenberg's "Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America" to me was one of the most interesting books on the wars in Latin America and has a chapter on El Salvador.
Thanks Karina,
From Grandmother to Granddaughter is already on the list. I agree with you about hwo good it is. I'll have to check out Children of Cain.

Hey Tim! Great list. I'm not seeing one of my favorites on Oscar Romero: "Memories In Mosaic," by Maria Lopez Vigil
Healing the Body Politic by Sandy Smith-Nonini about health care and politics.
"From Grandmother to Grandaughter: Salvadoran Women's stories" is a must-read.

Tim,
When asked what I can recommend for someone to read and learn about El Salvador, I recommend your book list which is very complete and relevant. Caroline and I recommended Enrique Alvarez. You put it on and gave it a five star rating. I am now recommending a book entitled: FAREWELL, FRED VOODOO - A Letter From Haiti by Amy Wilentz (2013).
While it does talk about El Mozote, it is really about Haiti. I recommend it as a must read for those in mission work and you will see many names common to El Salvador and Haiti. The writer's depth of insight and gift for writing alone makes it a worthwhile read.
The New York Times has a good review of this book.
I have nothing invested in the book and you will not hurt my feelings if you don't put it on the list. But, you will want to read it.
Thanks,
Don Seiple, Pastor Emeritus
