  • Intellectual foundations of the Nicaraguan revolution by Donald Clark Hodges

    Intellectual foundations of the Nicaraguan revolution

    Donald Clark Hodges

    In this critical study of the thought of Augusto Cesar Sandino and his followers, Donald C. Hodges has discovered a coherent ideological thread and political program, which he succeeds in tracing to Mexican and Spanish sources. Sandino's strong religious inclination in combination with his anarchosyndicalist political ideology established him as a religious seer and moral reformer as well as a political thinker and is the prototype of the curious blend of Marxism and Christianity of the late twentieth-century Nicaraguan government, the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional.

  • Brigadista : harvest and war in Nicaragua : eyewitness accounts of North American volunteers working in Nicaragua by Jeff Jones

    Brigadista : harvest and war in Nicaragua : eyewitness accounts of North American volunteers working in Nicaragua

    Jeff Jones

    Every year more than 1,000 North Americans travel to Nicaragua to volunteer their labor. These "brigadistas," as they are called, spend between two weeks and three months as volunteer agricultural workers harvesting coffee and rice side-by-side with Nicaraguans. Brigadista presents, in their own words, some of these volunteers' experiences and the feelings these experiences generated. The author captures and conveys these experiences and feelings through interviews, articles, journal entries, photos, and descriptive pieces written by the volunteers. What emerges is an important first-hand account of Nicaragua, its people and its politics.

  • The church and revolution in Nicaragua by Laura Nuzzi O'Shaughnessy and Luis H. Serra

    The church and revolution in Nicaragua

    Laura Nuzzi O'Shaughnessy and Luis H. Serra

    This volume addresses the complex issue of the Christian response to the Nicaraguan revolution from a perspective generally sympathetic to the Sandinista’s goals. Luis Serra, himself a Latin American who has worked with the peasantry, argues that the institutional Church has now become a major autonomous source of opposition to the revolution. Laura O’Shaughnessy, analyzing the years leading up to the 1979 revolution and through the Papal visit of 1983, argues that the Church heirarchy has mistrusted the revolution as a threat to its traditional authority.
