This interesting work, illustrated with more than 100 black-and-white photographs, documents the development of an El Salvadorean refugee community, Colomoncagua, in Honduras. These 8000 people, who lived for more than ten years in Honduras before returning en masse to a new location in El Salvador in 1990, achieved a strong sense of community, social and economic development, and grassroots democracy. The authors, through field research, identify elements contributing to their success, including shared values, the influences of international personnel in their camp, and the high value they placed on flexible solutions. The community offers a model for other poor people in the region to emulate. Highly recommended.
