Abstract

This article offers a nuanced explanation of the internal politics of guerilla relations. It uses the conce; ts of hegemony, fields of power and habitus to aralyze the dynamics of guerilla strategies and efforts to implement them in the Peoples Revolutionary Army (ERP) in northern Morazaa El Salvador. The author argues that the guerrilla strategies involved them in a double process of hegemony construetion: hegemony over civilians and hegemony over their own combatants. This double process was crucial if ERP guerrillas were to compete on the field of power dominated by the US‐backed Salvadoran military.
