Download or read book Capitalists and Revolution in Nicaragua written by Rose J. Spalding and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By tracing the complex relationship between the Sandinista government and the Nicaraguan business elite, this book examines the shifting mix of alliances and oppositions that shaped the Sandinista revolution. Rose Spalding takes issue with models of the business sector that assume a high degree of class cohesion. Drawing on carefully structured interviews with ninety-one private-sector leaders at the end of the Sandinista era, Spalding documents responses to the Sandinista government that range from extreme ideological hostility to enthusiastic support. To explain this variation, Spalding explores such factors as the prerevolutionary social and economic characteristics of the elite, their organizational networks, and their experiences with expropriation and government subsidies. She is one of the first scholars to look at the ways in which these groups have evolved in the postrevolutionary era under the Chamorro government. In addition, Spalding provides a valuable analysis of four other cases of attempted structural change, thereby drawing broader, cross-national comparisons and developing theoretical insights about the political character of the 'bourgeoisie.'

Book Synopsis Theory in the Practice of the Nicaraguan Revolution by : Bruce Ethan Wright
Download or read book Theory in the Practice of the Nicaraguan Revolution written by Bruce Ethan Wright and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in the period following the electoral defeat of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) in 1990, the revolution of 1979 continues to have a profound effect on the political economy of Nicaragua. Wright's study, which is based on interviews with people from all walks of life -- from government and party officials to academics and campesinos -- as well as on the large volume of literature in both English and Spanish, focuses on the FSLN understanding of the relationships between the state, the party, and mass actors, and the nature of social classes. Wright considers the topics of agrarian reform, the development of mass organizations, the role of labor, and other aspects of the Nicaraguan political economy in order to assess their significance in theoretical as well as practical terms.

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 Gendered Scenarios of Revolution by : Rosario Montoya
Download or read book Gendered Scenarios of Revolution written by Rosario Montoya and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, toward the end of the Cold War era, Nicaragua's Sandinista movement emerged on the world stage claiming to represent a new form of socialism. Gendered Scenarios of Revolution is a historical ethnography of Sandinista state formation from the perspective of El Tule-a peasant village that was itself thrust onto a national and international stage as a "model" Sandinista community. This book follows the villagers ́ story as they joined the Sandinista movement, performed revolution before a world audience, and grappled with the lessons of this experience in the neoliberal aftermath. Employing an approach that combines political economy and cultural analysis, Montoya argues that the Sandinistas collapsed gender contradictions into class ones, and that as the Contra War exacerbated political and economic crises in the country, the Sandinistas increasingly ruled by mandate as vanguard party instead of creating the participatory democracy that they professed to work toward. In El Tule this meant that even though the Sandinistas created new roles and possibilities for women and men, over time they upheld pre-revolutionary patriarchal social structures. Yet in showing how the revolution created opportunities for Tuleños to assert their agency and advance their interests, even against the Sandinistas ́ own interests, this book offers a reinterpretation of the revolution ́s supposed failure. Examining this community’s experience in the Sandinista and post-Sandinista periods offers perspective on both processes of revolutionary transformation and their legacies in the neoliberal era. Gendered Scenarios of Revolution will engage graduate and undergraduate students and scholars in anthropology, sociology, history, and women’s and gender studies, and appeal to anyone interested in modern revolution and its aftermath.
Book Synopsis After the Revolution by : Ilja A. Luciak
Download or read book After the Revolution written by Ilja A. Luciak and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How women active in guerilla movements become active in politics after the war. Complements Bayard de Volo's Mothers, Heroes, Martyrs:Gender Identity Politics in Nicaragua, 1979–1999. "Gender equality and meaningful democratization are inextricably linked," writes Ilja Luciak. "The democratization of Central America requires the full incorporation of women as voters, candidates, and office holders." In After the Revolution: Gender and Democracy in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala, Luciak shows how former guerrilla women in three Central American countries made the transition from insurgents to mainstream political players in the democratization process. Examining the role of women in the various stages of revolutionary and national politics, Luciak begins with women as participants and leaders in guerrilla movements. Women contributed greatly to the revolutionary struggle in all three countries, but thereafter many similarities ended. In Guatemala, ideological disputes reduced women's political effectiveness at both the intra-party and national levels. In Nicaragua, although women's rights became a secondary issue for the revolutionary party, women were nonetheless able to put the issue on the national agenda. In El Salvador, women took leading roles in the revolutionary party and were able to incorporate women's rights into a broad reform agenda. Luciak cautions that while active measures to advance the political role of women have strengthened formal gender equality, only the joint efforts of both sexes can lead to a successful transformation of society based on democratic governance and substantive gender equality.
Book Synopsis The Sandinista Legacy by : Ilja A. Luciak
Download or read book The Sandinista Legacy written by Ilja A. Luciak and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An original and carefully crafted piece of work. . . . Scholars and analysts working on Nicaragua will want this book."--Rose J. Spalding, DePaul University "Important contributions not only to the comparative literature of regime transitions (particularly 'post-socialist' transitions), but also to the study of Nicaragua and Central America. . . . Presents a nicely balanced picture of the Sandinista record of accomplishments and failures, including a well-reasoned analysis of who or what was to blame for the failures."--Richard Tardanico, Florida International University When the Sandinistas came to power in Nicaragua, they promised to establish social and economic democracy. As Ilja Luciak tells us in this study of regime transitions, their legacy is mixed, though they deserve credit for institutionalizing electoral democracy. While they improved the life of the peasantry and achieved an impressive record in the areas of education and health, by 1990 their progress had been halted and in many instances reversed. Luciak maintains that the Sandinistas' loss at the polls in 1990 was a blessing in disguise: after eleven years in power, the revolutionary movement needed time to rejuvenate itself and return to its popular roots. He examines the evolution of Sandinista democracy and analyzes Sandinista policies toward two rural grassroots movements, the Association of Rural Workers and the National Union of Farmers and Ranchers, showing the inevitable tension that results when a vanguard party attempts to strengthen participatory democracy. He also examines the development of the tiendas campesinas By focusing on the dilemma that confronts societies in transition, Luciak shows that the Sandinista experiment offers a valuable warning for the political elites and for the people of Eastern Europe and the successor states of the Soviet Union. The lesson is that the Sandinistas set out to establish a new model of democracy that emphasized economic justice and direct democracy; it wound up consolidating formal democracy. The price for the consolidation of formal democracy is paid by the poor majority, he says, and it is often too high. Ilja A. Luciak is associate professor of political science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. He has published articles in such journals as Comparative Politics, Journal of Latin American Studies, and Latin American Perspectives.
