  • The Catholic Church and politics in Nicaragua and Costa Rica by Philip J. Williams

    The Catholic Church and politics in Nicaragua and Costa Rica

    Philip J. Williams

    Unlike most recent studies of the Catholic Church in Latin America, Philip J. Williams analyzes the Church in two very dissimilar political contexts-Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Despite the obvious differences, Williams argues that in both cases the Church has responded to social change in remarkably similar fashion. The efforts of progressive clergy to promote change in both countries have been largely blocked by Church hierarchy, fearful that such change will threaten the Church's influence in society.

    Jaime Chamorro Cardenal

    Jaime Chamorro Cardenal is a top editor of La Prensa, the independent Nicaraguan newspaper with which his family has been involved for decades. Since its founding over sixty years ago, La Prensa has served as the conscience of Nicaragua, a nation oppressed first by one dictatorship and then another. This is the story of that newspaper's struggle to maintain an honest and critical relationship with its readers while at the same time maintaining its foothold on a rocky and ever-changing political terrain.

  • Nicaragua's continuing struggle by Arturo J. Cruz

    Nicaragua's continuing struggle

    Arturo J. Cruz

    In a note from the author, Cruz writes: 'The present monograph contains my version of the 1984 elections in Nicaragua. Notwithstanding my candidacy against Daniel Ortega, I have made serious effort to give as objective an account as possible. My conclusion is that the Sandinistas' flagrant abuse of power virtually eliminated competition in the electoral contest. By the same token, we, their adversaries, missed a unique opportunity to force them into a test that could have universally demonstrated that the Sandinistas' election was a sham.'

  • Sandinistas : the party and the revolution by Dennis Gilbert

    Sandinistas : the party and the revolution

    Dennis Gilbert

    According to Dennis Gilbert, the history of the Sandinista Party is a succession of confrontations between its Marxist ideological principles and the conditions of life in Nicaragua that have continually challenged and diluted the party's political orthodoxy. By the time they came to power in 1979, the Sandinistas had adopted an insurrectionary strategy with little resemblance to its putative Marxist origins and had absorbed into their ranks large numbers of Catholic radicals, many into leadership positions, a state of affairs unimaginable among established Marxist-Leninist regimes. Turning on the continuing tension between ideology and circumstances, this book aims to provide the reader with an interpretive account of perhaps the most influential revolutionary movement of the recent past. Gilbert examines five key topics in depth, each selected to reveal essential insights about the revolution; the Sandinista Party, agrarian reform, the national bourgeoisie, the Catholic Church and the United States. At the centre of the analysis resides the FSLN, driven by ideology and moulded by history, in its vanguard role as an important contemporary revolutionary movement.
