Descripción:This article studies the dynamics of the peasant mobilizations occurred in El Salvador previous to the civil war (1981-1992). To do this, some of the most important events and episodes of peasant protest are reviewed and their most relevant aspects are analyzed. From the point of view of the empirical material, this work is based on the reviewing of four main sources: a) previous academic studies that offer isolated brushstrokes about the peasant protests occurred between 1969 and 1975 and the takeovers of lands of 1977; b) memories of the protagonists of this protest; c) bulletins of the peasant organizations that conducted these processes; and d) pronouncements and press releases of the actors in dispute. It is concluded that, as a whole, in the period studied there was a clear process of escalation of the protest and political activity of the Salvadoran peasants, shifting from local and reactive protests to translocal, national and with hints of state will mobilizations. This process of escalation, in addition, occurred through the succession of three well-differentiated periods of protests, each characterized by a form of predominant political conflict.
