El Salvador emerged from a brutal civil war in 1992 to find much of its national income coming from a massive emigrant workforce that earns money in the US. This book examines this new way of life as it extends across two places: Intipuca, a Salvadoran town, and the Washington, DC, home to the second largest population Salvadorans in the US.
