This book describes the voluntary repatriation that took place under conflicting conditions in Central America from 1981 to 1990. From Costa Rica and Honduras to Nicaragua, from Mexico to Guatemala and from Honduras to El Salvador, refugees decided to repatriate when the governments responsible for their flight were still in power, when neither amnesties, repatriation agreements nor special programs were necessarily in place to assist them in returning home. The refugees described here are the 20 percent of Central American refugees- mostly poor, rural families - did not permit them to flee very far into the U.S. and Mexico, but who could only escape to immediate safety across the border and from there, decided to return home "under conflict."
