Download or read book Revolution And Counterrevolution In Nicaragua written by Thomas W Walker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, this book offers an interdisciplinary study of the domestic and foreign challenges that faced the Sandinista government during its ten years in power. Based on extensive research in Nicaragua during the revolution, the essays examine important aspects of both the revolution and the U.S.-orchestrated counterrevolution that brought it to an end. After an introduction to the historical background of the revolutionary period, contributors offer an overview of specific groups and institutions within the revolution, such as women, grass-roots organizations, and the armed forces, and provide a balanced assessment of Sandinista public policy and performance in such areas as agrarian reform, health care, education, and housing. The impact and implications of the contra war, financed by the United States, are also analyzed, as well as efforts made over the years to promote a negotiated peace.
Book Synopsis The Role of Female Combatants in the Nicaraguan Revolution and Counter Revolutionary War by : Martín Meráz García
Download or read book The Role of Female Combatants in the Nicaraguan Revolution and Counter Revolutionary War written by Martín Meráz García and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolution in Nicaragua was unique in that a large percentage of the combatants were women. The Role of Female Combatants in the Nicaraguan Revolution and Counter Revolutionary War is a study of these women and those who fought in the Contra counter revolution on the Atlantic Coast. This book is a qualitative study based on 85 interviews with female ex-combatants in the revolution and counter revolution from the 1960s to the end of the 1980s, as well as field observations in Nicaragua and the autonomous regions of the Atlantic Coast. It explores the reasons why women fought, the sacrifices they made, their treatment by male combatants, and their insights into the impact of the revolution and counter-revolution on today’s Nicaragua. The analytical approach draws from political psychology, social identity dynamics such as nationalism and indigenous identities, and the role of liberation theology in the willingness of the female revolutionaries to risk their lives. Researchers and students of Gender Studies, Latin American and Latino Studies, and Political History will find this an illuminating account of the Nicaraguan Revolution and counter revolution, which until now has been rarely shared.

Download or read book Nicaragua written by José Luis Coraggio and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, Nicaragua, written from an insider's point of view breaks the barrier of disinformation which has surrounded the Sandinista revolution. To accomplish this task the author discusses the major forces that have shaped Nicaragua’s development during the past decade as well as all pertinent events leading to and following the revolution. It is the author's contention that the Sandinista revolution is an unusual combination of armed struggle to reach power and democratic procedures to build a new society. This makes the revolution a very dangerous example for the stability of a hegemonic state that tries to pacify the needs of the masses by means of repression and spurious applications of democratic principles. This book's main thesis is that socialism and democracy are not contradictory but are part of the same process. Thus, any attempt to think in terms of necessary stages is misreading the classics of Marx and Lenin. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of political science, Latin American studies, Latin American history and politics.

Book Synopsis The Undermining of the Sandinista Revolution by : Gary Prevost
Download or read book The Undermining of the Sandinista Revolution written by Gary Prevost and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandinista revolution brought dramatic social, economic and political changes to Nicaragua in the 1980s, but in the wake of the electoral defeat of the FSLN in 1990 the revolution has struggled to survive in the face of challenges from the Chamorro administration, the US government, and the International Monetary Fund. Gains of the revolution in health care, education, Atlantic Coast autonomy, agrarian reform, and other areas have been systematically eroded. However, significant efforts have also been mounted, especially in grass roots organizing and by women's organizations, to protect the revolution's achievements. Through a series of articles based on current research, seven experts on contemporary Nicaragua draw a balance sheet on the gains of Sandinista revolution achieved by 1990 and assess the current status of the revolutionary project.

Book Synopsis Women and Revolution in Nicaragua by : Helen Collinson
Download or read book Women and Revolution in Nicaragua written by Helen Collinson and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic and significant changes that affected Nicaraguan women in the late 1980s are examined in this comprehensive presentation of the realities of women's lives in conditions of war and economic crisis. Written just prior to the February 1990 elections, this book covers things relevant to women in any Third World political climate and throws a new light on some aspects of issues that engage Western women's own concerns. Included are chapters dealing with women's movements; single mothers; reproduction and abortion; machismo and male violence; the "double day"; and survival in the face of the US economic blockade. The role of education, of the church and unions in women's liberation; women workers, rural and urban; women's involvement in defense; and debates around pornography are also explored. The central role of women in the peace and autonomy plans for the Atlantic Coast region is the focus of one chapter. Personal testimonies, case studies, interviews in quotations from Nicaragua newspapers, graphically highlight the viewpoints of the women themselves. How far the political changes consequent upon the 1990 election results will affect the Nicaraguan people remains to be seen, but that the women, who have demonstrated so much courage and initiative, will continue to work for the realization of their aspirations for a better life seems in no doubt.--Back cover.

Book Synopsis The Best of what We are by : John Brentlinger
Download or read book The Best of what We are written by John Brentlinger and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua inspired many North Americans, including the author of this moving and informative book. John Brentlinger made six trips to Nicaragua, both before and after the defeat of the Sandinista Party. Combining the insights of a philosopher with the experiences of a participant-observer, he interprets the Sandinista period as a people's struggle for self-realization in work, culture, politics, and community. The book alternates between journal and essay chapters, weaving descriptions of personal experiences together with interviews and analysis. Whether telling the story of the last day of a young teacher's life, describing new forms of poetry and art, examining representations of Nicaragua in the U.S. media, or discussing the government's successes and failures, Brentlinger vividly captures the spirit and enduring significance of the Sandinista revolution.
Book Synopsis Nicaragua, Revolution in the Family by : Shirley Christian
Download or read book Nicaragua, Revolution in the Family written by Shirley Christian and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1986 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalist Christian's masterful, evenhanded account of Nicaragua's Sandinistas derives from years of interviews and on-the-scene observations. Beginning with the last days of the Somoza regime, she details the morass of political intrigue through November 1984. The problem is, she argues, that the success of ``sandinismo'' turned the people from instigators of change into objects of change, both in the eyes of the church and of the state. As the center of the struggle flew out of control onto the battlefields of Havana, Washington, Rome, and Panama, democratic principles were subordinated to other peoples' needs, a no-win situation for the peasants. To draw conclusions about Nicaragua, Christian emphasizes, is a lot more difficult than superficial U.S. policy would imply.
