Poetry & militancy in Latin America -- Old shit -- Afterword on Dalton's essay (James Scully).
"Roque Dalton was born in El Salvador in 1933. He studied law and anthropology in Chile and Mexico, as well as in his own country. In 1955 Dalton joined the Communist Party. He was imprisoned several times. Once, while he was in jail under sentence of death, an earthquake destroyed the cell walls, allowing him to escape. Mostly he lived in exile in Guatemala, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, and Cuba. In 1975 he returned to El Salvador as a militant in the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP). There he was assassinated, apparently by a member of a rival Maoist faction, though the circumstances of his death remain somewhat obscure." - from back cover
