POLS 448: Terror Group Profile (Sendero Luminoso)

Significant Historical Background

Actions included destroying the agricultural societies established by the government in the 1970s that had begun to fall apart during the 1980s.  Senderistas carried out vigilante justice for peasants, and the peasants felt Sendero’s presence was better for them than the state (which was absent) and the local tyrants.
