In the 1960s and 1970s, El Salvador's reigning military regime instituted a series of reforms that sought to modernise the country and undermine ideological radicalism, the most ambitious of which was an education initiative. In this thoughtful collaborative study, the authors examine the processes by which education reform became entwined in debates over theories of modernisation and the politics of anti-communism.
