Dossier: Las violencias en Centroamérica durante los últimos 50 años
Esta convocatoria se inserta en la celebración del quincuagésimo aniversario del Anuario de
Estudios Centroamericanos y, en tanto, procura reunir artículos que analicen uno de los fenómenos
más significativos de este medio siglo de historia regional: la violencia, o más bien en plural, las
violencias. En ese sentido, el contexto de la primera edición de la revista en 1974 estuvo marcado por
la emergencia de diversos factores que confluyeron, hacia fines de la década, en la crisis de dominación más importante de la historia de Centroamérica. Ese proceso se caracterizó por la magnitud de las violencias desplegadas -dictaduras, genocidios, conflictos armados, guerra civil- y por resultados hasta ahora impensados, con centenares de miles de personas muertas y detenidas-desaparecidas, torturadas, heridas, refugiadas, exiliadas y desplazadas.
