Download or read book Peasants in Arms written by Lynn Horton and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on testimonies from contra collaborators and ex-combatants, as well as pro-Sandinista peasants, this book presents a dynamic account of the growing divisions between peasants from the area of Quilalí who took up arms in defense of revolutionary programs and ideals such as land reform and equality and those who opposed the FSLN. Peasants in Arms details the role of local elites in organizing the first anti-Sandinista uprising in 1980 and their subsequent rise to positions of field command in the contras. Lynn Horton explores the internal factors that led a majority of peasants to turn against the revolution and the ways in which the military draft, and family and community pressures reinforced conflict and undermined mid-decade FSLN policy shifts that attempted to win back peasant support.

Book Synopsis In Search of Peace by : M.D. Fred Kronen
Download or read book In Search of Peace written by M.D. Fred Kronen and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Fred Kronen was a volunteer physician in Sandinista, Nicaragua, during the tumultuous years of 1987 to 1988. By this time, Nicaragua had already suffered years of dictatorship, revolution, rebirth, and then the massive effort by the Reagan administration to destroy the new Sandinista regime. Reagan’s creation, the Contra, had inflicted enormous harm upon the Nicaraguan countryside in its effort to oust the Sandinistas. It had also, by this time, transformed itself into a sort of popular movement of its own, pitting family against family in the countryside. Dr. Kronen’s memoir of this time provides a window on the daily struggle to survive during this difficult era. The political currents, the battered altruism of the Sandinista revolution, and the deep dignity of the Nicaraguan people are all recounted in human detail. His experience as an American, an international, and a physician in rural Nicaragua give this tale a unique perspective not elsewhere reported. It is a story of enduring moral value—a story, above all, of the deep, beautiful soul of the Nicaraguan people.

Book Synopsis Resisting Reagan by : Christian Smith
Download or read book Resisting Reagan written by Christian Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Central America peace movement, Resisting Reagan explains why more than one hundred thousand U.S. citizens marched in the streets, illegally housed refugees, traveled to Central American war zones, committed civil disobedience, and hounded their political representatives to contest the Reagan administration's policy of sponsoring wars in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Focusing on the movement's three most important national campaigns—Witness for Peace, Sanctuary, and the Pledge of Resistance—this book demonstrates the centrality of morality as a political motivator, highlights the importance of political opportunities in movement outcomes, and examines the social structuring of insurgent consciousness. Based on extensive surveys, interviews, and research, Resisting Reagan makes significant contributions to our understanding of the formation of individual activist identities, of national movement dynamics, and of religious resources for political activism.

Book Synopsis Nicaragua in Depth by : Peace Peace Corps
Download or read book Nicaragua in Depth written by Peace Peace Corps and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-13 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicaragua probably derives its name from an Indian chief, Nicarao, who ruled part of the area at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Christopher Columbus, in 1492, was the first European to touch Nicaraguan soil. Francisco Hernandez de Córdoba followed in 1524 and founded the principal colonial cities of Granada and León. Granada evolved into a stronghold of the aristocracy, and León became the political and intellectual capital. The rivalry between these cities persists to this day. For three centuries, Nicaragua was a province of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, as the Spanish called their territories south of Mexico. Independence from Spanish rule came in 1821, and, for a short period of time, Nicaragua was a member of the Central American Federation, which included Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Costa Rica. In 1838, Nicaragua became an independent republic.For the next 100 years, Nicaragua experienced periods of war and peace, including an attempted takeover by American William Walker in 1855. Walker was defeated and killed by an alliance of Central American nations. After another period of unrest in the early 1900s, Nicaragua's president invited U.S. Marines to restore and maintain order in the country. In 1934, the government was taken over by General Anastasio Somoza García, initiating more than 40 years of family rule under a military dictatorship. In 1972, downtown Managua was destroyed by an earthquake that killed tens of thousands. Managua was never completely rebuilt and has become a sprawling city without a center. In 1979, the Somoza regime was overthrown by a populist revolution, and was replaced by the Marxist Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN), which ruled until 1990. This period included a U.S. government-supported civil war against the Sandinista government. A 1989 accord permitted free elections in 1990, in which Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, known for her conciliatory nature, became president. Nicaragua has experienced relative peace since 1990, and the country has celebrated four successive free elections to date.
Book Synopsis Visions of Solidarity by : Clare Weber
Download or read book Visions of Solidarity written by Clare Weber and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visions of Solidarity is currently the only study of peace activist's transformation from an anti-war struggle to an anti-globalization struggle. It explores the power dynamics between citizen activists in the Global North and South, examining efforts at reframing issues of social justice over time, and highlighting transnational feminist politics and agency at the local level. This book focuses on the way that transnational activists strategies are negotiated across boundaries. Through a comparative ethnographic study of the U.S.-based Witness for Peace and the Wisconsin Coordination Council on Nicaragua, the author, Clare Weber, explores how the organizations came to have very different responses over time to the neoliberal development project imposed on Nicaragua by the United States. Weber skillfully links studies of transnational social movements, women's grassroot activism, and the Central America Peace movement in this unique book.
