| Summary/Abstract |
Using in-depth interviews with forty-two former Colombian guerrillas from three groups, M-19, EPL, and CRS, this article identifies eleven different motivations for joining these organizations. Special attention is given to the recruitment process as well as the role that religion, family, and acquaintances play in subjects' decisions to join these subversive organizations. Finally, Matza's three-stage model is used to investigate the process of joining these groups. Findings emphasize the importance of factors such as social interactions, government repression level, and insurgent group resources and goals in the subjects' decision to join these groups

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on 42 in-depth interviews with members of three former Colombian guerrilla organizations, M-19, EPL, and CRS, reasons why they stayed in these organizations through several years, if not decades, of violent confrontation with government forces are examined. From a micro-level perspective, the study identifies four important motivations for members to remain in these groups: personal dependence on their organization, values shared with other members and with the group, the clandestine life-style, and self-identity, which is boosted by the subjects' feeling that their work in the group matters.
