505 0 Introduction: The silence of the Archbishop -- The
movement takes shape: 1978-1980 -- Intensification: 1981-
1983 -- The critical period: 1984-1986 -- The twilight of
the movement: 1987-1990 -- Conclusion: What did it all
achieve?
520 The 1980s saw one of the largest social movements in US
history, as activists fought to change the Reagan
Administration's policy of supporting right-ring terror
and oligarchy in Central America. Despite the size and
diversity of the movement, however, it remains
understudied. Fight and Flight examines the campaigns of
three US NGOs, namely Amnesty International USA, the
National Lawyers Guild, and the Committee in Solidarity
with the People of El Salvador. By analyzing the ways in
which the NGOs ameliorated the effects of human rights
violations in Central America, primarily through their
refugee assistance programs, this research demonstrates
that the movement was more effective than is generally
reflected in the existing literature. Of particular
interest for academic students of human rights and social
movements, as well as activists interested in strategies
of social change, this book offers a nuanced reading of a
critical movement for human rights and international
justice.--Publisher's description
