	Guerrilla
		Guerrilla is a term invented in Spain to describe the tactics used to resist the French regime instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte (one should however remember, that the tactics themselves were known and used even centuries earlier).
		Guerrilla tactics are based on ambush and sabotage, and their ultimate objective is usually to destabilize an authority through long, low-intensity confrontation.
		Guerrillas are in particular danger of not being recognized as combatants because they are outnumbered and may take off their uniforms to mingle with the local population.

		...The leaders of the guerrilla movement were in their great majority city people of middle- or upper-class origin -young men (and in a very few cases, women) who quite literally had no common language with the peasant population, which belonged to all intents and purposes to another race...
		...The essentials of guerrilla warfare were not only known in practice, there were also many books on the theory of guerrilla and partisan warfare (or petite guerre, as it was usually called) written as far back as the late 18th and early 19th century, and containing almost everything that need be said on the subject...
		...it became a guerrilla movement in exile-which is to say that it ceased to be a guerrilla movement in any meaningful sense of the term...

	Che Guevara: Fundamentals of Guerrilla Warfare
		Guerrilla warfare is the preferred warfare strategy of insur- gent movemerts because it offers "quick, dramatic results at lit- tle cost."9 It is the strategy of the weak who uses surprise, maneuver, quickness and geography as force multipliers to counter the superior combat strength of the ruling regime's armed forces.
		During the early stages of the guerrilla movement, there- fore, the fundamental training received by the guerrilla fighters will be the experience they receive in battle and the informal in- formation they receive from their seasoned cohorts.
		Guerrilla platoons consisting mainly of 30 to 40 men led by a Captain, concentrate their efforts on destroying army outposts and defeating enemy troops within the area surrounding the guerrilla base camp.

	G.D.: Guerrilla Movements in Greece (June 1948)
		The guerrilla movements manifested themselves on a large scale during the period of the second imperialist war, particularly in the backward peasant countries of South Eastern Europe.
		The guerrilla movement at the time of the occupation was created and developed in the period of the imperialist war, aligned itself with one imperialist camp and fought against the other imperialist camp.
		The guerrilla movement is composed in its majority, of peasants, petty bourgeois, with a percentage of “workers.” In the first spontaneous period of the movement, there existed within it a considerable democracy, and the leaders used to be elected from below on the basis of their ability.

	World Affairs Board - Guerilla Warfare
		Guerrillas are in danger of not being recognized as combatants because they may not wear a uniform, (to mingle with the local population), or their uniform and distinctive emblems may not be recognised as such by their opponents.
		Movement by night is another important characteristic of the guerrilla band, enabling it to advance into position for an attack and, where the danger of betrayal exists, to mobilize in new territory.
		Guerrilla activity persists there in spite of the cruelties and deceits practiced by the Japanese at the expense of the people, and in spite of the fact that her armies have occupied the land and oppressed the people for the last seven years.

	I. Wallerstein,
		The word guerrillas comes from the Spanish term "guerra" ("war") and was originally meant to indicate armed forces that engaged in hit-and-run warfare in defense of territory against a foreign invader.
		And some guerrilla movements are simply the expression of a group of people who wish to seize power for their own glory and profit.
		They did so presumably because the guerrilla movements they supported were expected to pursue foreign policies more sympathetic to the objectives of one side or the other than the existing government.

	Counter-Guerrilla Air Warfare: The War in Southern Lebanon
		Guerrilla movements depend on a broad base in the population, and if they lack such support, they concentrate their activity on 'conquering' it by ideological, social, and violent methods.
		The principal goals of a war against guerrillas is the preservation of the regime, of the population's normal course of life, and the removal of the strategic threat which the guerrilla movement constitutes.
		Governments generally recognize their inability to destroy the guerrilla movement entirely as an operative goal, and are satisfied with attrition of the guerrilla movement, especially as reducing its hostile activity to a tolerable level.

	Grandizo Munis: Observations on the Guerrillas (1944)
		The guerrillas try to fulfill the mission of national defense, which the regular army was incapable of carrying out; and if they are successful, the necessity is posed of their transformation into a new national armed force.
		When the monarchy was restored to power through the joint action of the guerrillas and the English army and the new regular Spanish army, the guerrillas either remained in the latter or were dissolved by the monarchy, and their leaders, hostile to the Bourbon absolutism, were hanged.
		But what chiefly hinders the guerrillas, however revolutionary they may be considered, from a really positive action, is the contradiction between their methods of struggle and the methods necessary for the social transformation called for today.

	Karen Kampwirth: Women and Guerrilla Movements
		The revolutionary movements that emerged frequently in Latin America over the past century promoted goals that included overturning dictatorships, confronting economic inequalities, and creating what Cuban revolutionary hero Che Guevara called the "new man." But in fact, many of the "new men" who participated in these movements were not men.
		In the last chapter she compares what happened in these countries with Cuba in the 1950s, where few women participated in the guerrilla struggle.
		Her emphasis on the experiences of revolutionaries adds a new dimension to the study of revolution, which has focused mainly on explaining how states are overthrown.

		A former Guerrero state Communist Party official recently confirmed to me a report by a former Sandinista guerrilla leader trained in Cuba in the late 1960s that a group of guerrillas from Guerrero was being trained at Campamento Cerro at the same time he was.
		As regards the recent re-emergence of guerrillas in Guerrero, Mexico, normally a guerrilla movement only abandons clandestinity after it has become sufficiently organized and is ready to engage in actions.
		But there are reports of a number of other guerrilla movements in that country that have not yet lifted their faces and remain in their clandestine organizational phases, including some in Puebla, in Chihuahua, along the US-Mexico border, and in the State of Mexico near the capital"

	PWHCE - Asia Pacific Report 48: Islamic Terrorism in Southeast Asia, the Al-Qaeda Connection
		This is a war against a network of revolutionary guerrilla movements and not just a collection of terrorist organisations.
		It is a war against radical Islamism and a network of Islamist revolutionary guerrilla movements which have their motivation and origins in such totalitarian, puritanical and philistine ideologies and theologies as wahhabism and Deobandism.
		Their strategy is to fight revolutionary guerrilla warfare on a global battlefield, partly in the hope that we will break down and break apart while millions of Muslims convert to Islamism, overthrowing moderate Muslim regimes around the world.

	Social sciences
		More of a dictionary than an encyclopedia, this one-volume paperback update to the first edition (LJ 4/15/86) comprises 600 entries, 90 percent of which are new or substantially revised to reflect recent developments and approaches in the social sciences, e.g., feminism, postmodernism, sociobiology, environmental and evolutionary economics, and cultural studies.
		Contributors, mostly scholars from the United Kingdom and the United States, are aiming at an audience of scholars and social scientists who need a handy desk reference for quick overviews of terms, concepts, movements, and individuals from disciplines outside or adjoining their own fields.
		The entries are of high quality in terms of content, but inevitably any one-volume work that attempts to cover all the social sciences will have gaps: for example, there's an entry on semantics but no entries for the equally important linguistic subfields of phonology and syntax.

		Although it makes sense that an oppressive dictatorship (like Batista’s in Cuba) could make people react violently through a guerrilla movement, maybe Colombia’s political continuity got some people frustratedin other words, the Colombian elite boasted that their political system “worked,” and that it was “democratic” because people got to vote every four years.
		But Shining Path was pretty unique, and it became world-famous for a time: It was the world’s most extreme and Marxist-theory-driven guerrilla movement, and it rejected all existing communist governments and parties as traitors to the communist cause.
		They called their version of Marxism “Gonzalo Thought.” It was the most vicious movement, certainly in Latin American guerrilla history—they didn’t believe in kidnapping, and they didn’t give warnings, they always killed people they considered enemies, whenever they could.

		Associate professor Karen Kampwirth argues that the role of women in revolutionary movements has been neglected — both by scholars in the field and by those who lead revolutions.
		"Women don't fit into the central questions of revolution studies — who is in guerrilla movements and why have states fallen to guerrilla movements?" says Kampwirth, who has written extensively on women involved in revolutions, from Latin America to Europe and the Middle East.
		"Many of their [male] former comrades-in-arms responded very badly when [the women who had taken part in revolutionary movements] resisted the return to traditional gender inequality that had characterized life before the war," Kampwirth writes in "Women and Guerrilla Movements."
