In 2003, a government-sponsored \"Truth and Reconciliation Committee\" reported that the conflict lasted longer, affected broader swaths of the national territory, and inflicted higher costs in both human and economic terms than any other conflict in Peru's history. Of those killed, 75 percent were speakers of an indigenous language, and almost 40 percent were among the poorest and most rural members of Peruvian society. These unequal impacts of the violence on the Peruvian people revealed deep and historical disparities within the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection of original essays by leading international experts on Peruvian politics, society, and institutions explores the political and institutional consequences of Peru's internal armed conflict in the long 1980s. The essays are grouped into sections that cover the conflict itself in historical, comparative, and theoretical perspectives; its consequences for Peru's political institutions; its effects on political parties across the ideological spectrum; and its impact on public opinion and civil society. This research provides the first systematic and nuanced investigation of the extent to which recent and contemporary Peruvian politics, civil society, and institutions have been shaped by the country's 1980s violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hillel Soifer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1477317317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477317310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Hillel Soifer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088357437695,"sku":"9781477317310","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47eab992-e6d3-4691-9ce6-39a23676ee5a.jpg?v=1769104390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-after-violence-hillel-soifer-9781477317310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
