abstract="Empirical data gathered in El Salvador indicate that knowledge about violence there is built upon an exclusionary and highly masculinist logic. Violence has come to be perceived as normal through a political project that has actively employed terror to pursue its ends. This process has been made possible by a legitimization of violence as a key element of male gender identity. Political circumstances in El Salvador, principally the war, have both nourished and reinforced a sense of gender identity based on polarization, exclusion, and hegemony.<p />",
