Individual authors discuss the evolution of peasant communities in the sierra, the difficulties of transition from extended military to civilian rule after 1980, the dynamics of Fujimori's political leadership, the status of trade unions, the decline of Sendero Luminoso, and the troubling issue of human rights in contemporary Peru.
