... introduction to this volume that the many prominent Shining Path watchers represented herein do not exhaust the list of serious analysts of Peru’s 12-year violent insurgency. But the volume does provide, in Palmer’s words, multiple “windows” on the complex and contradictory phenomenon called Sendero Luminoso...

... Peruvianized. The study covers the period from the uprising of indigenous peoples and Juan Bustamante in the mid – nineteenth century down through the years of Sendero Luminoso and beyond.
