Description
Throughout the 1980s, Barricada, the official day by day newspaper of the ruling Sandinista Front, played the usual role of a party organ, seeking the mobilize the Nicaraguan public to make stronger the revolutionary agenda. Beyond the Barricades, on the other hand, reveals a story that may be both more intriguing and a lot more complex. Even throughout this period of sweeping transformation and out of doors military siege, another, more professional agenda also motivated Barricada’s journalists and editors.
When the Sandinistas rapidly fell from power in the 1990 elections, Barricada gained a substantial degree of autonomy that allowed it to explore a more balanced and nuanced journalism “in the national interest.” This new orientation, on the other hand, ran afoul of more orthodox party leaders, who gradually gained the upper hand in the bitter internal struggle that wracked the Sandinista Front in the early 1990s. The paper closed its doors in January 1998.
Adam Jones’s outstanding study offers an unprecedented behin-the-scenes looks at Barricada’s two decades of evolution and dissolution. It also presents an intimate portrait of a key revolutionary institution and the memorable individuals who were part of it.
