Product Description
In recent years child migrants from Central America have arrived in the United States in unprecedented numbers. But whilst minors from Honduras Guatemala and El Salvador make the perilous journey to the north their Nicaraguan peers have remained in Central America. Nicaragua also enjoys lower murder rates and far fewer gang problems when compared with her neighbours. Why is Nicaragua so different The present government has promulgated a discourse of Nicaraguan exceptionalism arguing that Nicaragua is unique thanks to heritage of the 1979 Sandinista revolution. This volume critically interrogates that claim asking whether the legacy of the revolution is truly exceptional. An interdisciplinary work the book brings together historians anthropologists and sociologists to explore the multifarious ways in which the revolutionary past continues to shape public policyand daily lifein Nicaraguas tumultuous present. show more
