RESISTANCE, THE CHURCH, AND A COMPARISON OF CERAMICS FROM SIXTEENTH-CENTURY CALUCO, EL SALVADOR Alison D. Hodges 154 Pages This thesis examines ceramics from the church of San Pedro y San Pablo, Caluco, El Salvador, to investigate the pressures of Spanish evangelization during the Colonial Period. It compares the church’s ceramic assemblage to two privately-owned houses, also within Caluco. Examining choices in ceramic styles for serving food and drink is one way to examine the colonial policies of reducción, which were to instill a regular, commonplace Christian order in everyday life. The materials in question were a large number of Spanish majolicas, as well as 300 locally-made vessels, and form, decoration, and ware was noted for each. The relative importance of majolica versus majolica attributes on indigenous-made pottery shows that practices in the shadow of the church were distinct from those farther away.

  • Organizational Expansion, Liberalization Reversals and Radicalized Collective Action
    ORGANIZATIONAL EXPANSION, LIBERALIZATION REVERSALS AND RADICALIZED COLLECTIVE ACTION Paul D. Almeida ABSTRACT The paper addresses a core question in the literature on states and political challenges from excluded social classes: how is large-scale col- lective action possible against repressive governments in the global periphery? Using the case of El Salvador’s 1932 peasant-worker uprising, the paper contributes to theories of organizational expansion and radicalization in nondemocratic settings. The case study suggests that periods of regime liberalization deposit organizations in civil society that persist beyond the political opening in the system. Combining historical materials with logistic regression and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), it is found that the political threats constituting liberalization reversals provide negative incentives for surviving reform-minded organ- izations to attempt revolutionary forms of collective action in more hostile political environments. Politics and Globalization Research in Political Sociology, Volume 15, 57–97 Copyright r 2007 by Elsevier Ltd. All rights of reproduction in any form reserved ISSN: 0895-9935/doi:10.1016/S0895-9935(06)15003-2 57 58 PAUL D. ALMEIDA INTRODUCTION The paper elaborates a sequential framework of collective action suitable to authoritarian contexts and addresses the conditions associated with El Salvador’s January 1932 rebellion. The 1932 peasant-worker insurgency and subsequent state-sponsored massacre serve as major events in Central Ameri- can history as well as defined the future of modern state-civil society relations in El Salvador. The mass uprising still stands as one of the largest in scale in Latin America during the global depression of the 1930s. The rebellion involved thousands of peasant and worker participants who at- tempted to occupy several towns in western El Salvador and take over key army barracks and National Guard posts.
