La Iglesia católica bendice al ejército salvadoreño, al gobierno y a las guardias civiles por su “noble y patriótica actitud en defensa de la sociedad salvadoreña, de las instituciones patrias y de la autonomía nacional”. La respuesta estatal y de la sociedad civil urbana -organizada en guardias civiles- ocasiona una vasta represión contra la población indígena en su conjunto. Las interpretaciones recientes difieren en atribuirle un contenido comunista o indigenista a la revuelta, distinción que se amalgama en un dicho de la época: “todos los indios son comunistas”. En la escena internacional los eventos se conocen bajo el nombre de “matanza” por la brutalidad militar del régimen que aniquila entre ocho mil y treinta mil pobladores rurales, indígenas en su mayoría. Resumen: “Entre Los Anales de la Historia del Silencio” rastrea el desinterés de varias revistas culturales de 1932 sobre un alzamiento armado y la represión militar que lo sofoca, en enero de ese año en El Salvador. The essay inquires the trace of silence under a double erasure. Leftist artists who silence the political origin of its sponsor praise the popular and nativist artistic design as a revolutionary endeavor to be renewed in the present, without the use of the Native Nahuat-Pipil language. Within a regime of double silence -the one from 1932 and its current duplication- the article reveals the support of the writers to a new national-socialist project under the direction of general Maximiliano Hernández Martínez. The essay restitutes the silence of Salvadoran and Latin American intellectuals as a primary source, erased in purpose by contemporary historiography. The Catholic Church blesses the Salvadoran Army, the government and the civil guards by their “noble patriotic act of defense of the Salvadoran society, of the national institutions and of national autonomy”. The state response and the reply of the urban civil society -organized into civil guards- provoke a vast repression against the Native population. This ideological difference is combined in a proverb of the period: “all Indians are Communist”. The most recent interpretations differ by conferring a Communist or Nativist content to the revolt. In the international scene, the events are known under the Spanish noun of “Matanza” due to the military brutality of the regime, which eliminates eight to thirty thousand rural inhabitants, Natives in their majority. Abstract: “On the Annals of the History of Silence” retraces the lack of interest of several cultural magazines from 1932 on an armed revolt and a military repression that crushed it, in January in western El Salvador.
