[edit] on the Notability issue

One mark for its notability is that wel-known Latin American historian Greg Grandin uses Seligson's casualty figures (footnoting Seligson's work) in his Empire's Workshop: Latin America, The United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism, Henry Holt and Company, 2006, p.158 BernardL (talk) 03:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

"Mitchell A. Seligson and Vincent McElhinny. 1997. “Low Intensity Warfare, High Intensity Death:

The Demographic Impact of the Wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua.” In Demographic

Diversity and Change in the Central American Isthmus. Edited by Anne R. Pebley and Luis

Rosero-Bixby. Santa Monica, CA: Rand Corporation.

"This work is a comparative demographic analysis of the impact of war. El Salvador's civil war is

examined in a political and social light, within the broader context of demographic movement

and change factors. Topics include: migration patterns, death tolls, statistical analysis, and socio-

economic factors. Guerrilla and military groups, and their movements, are also examined as

factors affecting post-war demographics."BernardL (talk) 04:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
