    About this ebook

    Why El Salvador - Hidden Truths?

    In writing this book, I propose to explore these Salvadoran histories, pages hidden in dust which we have been denied by the economic power and its Governments since the time of the Spanish Invasion. We have systematically been denied the truth of this history, which is part of our being as the original peoples, which belongs to us, to our identity. We have been robbed and badly treated for more than 528 years; which has caused trauma and suffering across our lives. And so I undertook to look beneath the debris of the past with its enigmas to find the truth in our past history from our ancestors, colonization, independence, the first peoples uprisings, genocide and ethnocide against our ancestors. As well as crimes against humanity. The role of the Catholic Church, in the colonisation and imposition of Christianity and its Holy Inquisition. I also want you to be prepared, because in this book you will encounter many surprises and facts which are going to collide with your beliefs and notions of being human. I am not talking about to be Christians, because that is much deeper. But of the cruelty of the Spanish conquerors, with the lies and falsehoods with which the Salvadorans have been educated. Honour and Glory brothers and sisters: Nahuas, Maya, Lencas Chortis, Pocomames, Xincas, Kakawiras, Chorotegas and Izalcos who offered their blood for us and future generations.

    This Lent without resurrection to which our ancestors were subjected to, began with the Spanish Invasion and has continued till this day in 2020. What you will find in the following pages, are not sweet nor cheap announcements from the Salvadoran power base, in its communication mediums: Newspaper, Television, digital media and many other lying media. For the first time, there are voices of our ancestors in the presence of our current generations- the grandfathers and grandmothers, the young and their actual leaders.

    El Salvador: Hidden Truths
    Author

    Salvador Nunez

    Salvador is a Nahuat Native of El Salvador; who has worked with the Native communities of Nahuizalco, Tacuba, Santo Domingo de Guzman and other communities in El Salvador for many years; forced to seek political asylum in Australia in 1984. Since that time, he has continued to work with his Salvadoran community in Australia and El Salvador. His social commitment has led him to write this book, with the intention of contributing to make visible his Nahuath brothers and sisters and other ethnic groups in El Salvador. The Native peoples have suffered persecution, slavery, death and so many other crimes against humanity. This is the history of more than five centuries of oppression, since the invasion and colonization of Spain. That is the voice that Salvador brings in this book, the voice of the original peoples, oppressed and ignored, by centuries of physical and spiritual destruction. Salvador makes visible the journey of his Nahuath people, through interviews that seem long and endless, but which express the voice of that exploited and oppressed people of El Salvador. The Native peoples, now called by some peasants, are mixed between the ethnic groups that inhabit El Salvador and other peoples of Mesoamerica (Central America), confused between the poverty of millions of people, ignored by the system of economic and political power of El Salvador and other Central American countries. Immersed in that sea of personal and community experiences, being a tireless social fighter, Salvador shares that walk with his people; he is incarnated in daily and everyday life there in the mountains, cantons and towns of the West of El Salvador, to learn and share the essence of humble life, of his ancestors and his descendants; who still resist the oppression of the racist governments of El Salvador.
