In the process they became transformed from popular intellectuals to insurgent intellectuals who put their organizational and cognitive skills at the service of a collective effort to create a more egalitarian and democratic society. The book highlights the key roles that peasant catechists in northern Moraz疣 played in disseminating liberation theology before the war and supporting the FMLN during it--as quartermasters, political activists, and musicians, among other roles. Throughout, \u003ci\u003eFrom Popular to Insurgent Intellectuals\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the dialectical nature of relations between Catholic priests and urban revolutionaries, among others, in which the latter learned from the former and vice-versa. Peasant catechists proved capable at making independent decisions based on assessment of their needs and did not simply follow the dictates of those with superior authority, and played an important role for the duration of the twelve-year military conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leigh Binford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978833695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978833692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Leigh Binford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44069252038911,"sku":"9781978833692","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44fbd03b-e0e6-47d8-a5df-4dafeffeac84.jpg?v=1685423690","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-popular-to-insurgent-intellectuals-leigh-binford-9781978833692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
