Description

In latest years, child migrants from Central The usa have arrived in the US in unprecedented numbers. But even as minors from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador make the perilous journey to the north, their Nicaraguan peers have remained in Central The usa. Nicaragua also enjoys lower murder rates and far fewer gang problems in comparison along with her neighbours.

Why is Nicaragua so different? The present government has promulgated a discourse of Nicaraguan exceptionalism, arguing that Nicaragua is unique way to heritage of the 1979 Sandinista revolution. This volume critically interrogates that claim, asking whether the legacy of the revolution is actually exceptional. An interdisciplinary work, the book brings together historians, anthropologists and sociologists to explore the multifarious ways during which the revolutionary past continues to shape public policy—and day by day life―in Nicaragua’s tumultuous present.
