U.S. imperialism and El Salvador topic of lecture

Raul E. Moreno Campos, a doctoral candidate and teaching fellow at UCLA’s Department of Political Science, will be at Lake Tahoe Community College on May 26 at noon to give a presentation on State-Sponsored Violence, U.S. Imperialism, and the Salvadoran Civil War.

Campos will share a historical and political analysis of the development of the Salvadoran military regime, and the onset, development, and resolution of the Salvadoran Civil War. He’ll explore the role that the U.S. government played in this process, including the sending of military advisors from U.S. Special Forces, and their training and sponsorship of the Salvadoran military.

Campos was born in San Salvador, El Salvador, and lived there throughout the entirety of the Salvadoran Civil War (1979-92).

The free talk will be in the board room at LTCC.
