Sandinista – Carlos Fonseca and the Nicaraguan Revolution
Autor Matilde Zimmermannen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 ian 2001
The first researcher ever to be allowed access to Fonseca's unpublished writings (collected by the Institute for the Study of Sandinism in the early 1980s and now in the hands of the Nicaraguan Army), Zimmermann also obtained personal interviews with Fonseca's friends, family members, fellow combatants, and political enemies. Unlike previous scholars, Zimmermann sees the Cuban revolution as "the" crucial turning point in Fonseca's political evolution. Furthermore, while others have argued that he rejected Marxism in favor of a more pragmatic nationalism, Zimmermann shows how Fonseca's political writings remained committed to both socialist revolution and national liberation from U.S. imperialism and followed the ideas of both Che Guevara and the earlier Nicaraguan leader Augusto Cesar Sandino. She further argues that his philosophy embracing the experiences of the nation's workers and peasants was central to the FSLN's initial platform and charismatic appeal.

Recenzii
"A must-read for anyone interested in Nicaragua - or in the overall issue of social change." - Margaret Randall, author of Sandino's Daughters and Sandino's Daughters Revisited
"In this century we have had to look hard not only at the great struggles for justice but at the lives of the men who led those struggles. In this well-researched biography of Carlos Fonseca, founder and indisputable leader of the FSLN until his death in battle two years before Somoza's defeat, Matilde Zimmermann gives us a compelling portrait of someone obsessed with detail, puritanical but caring, brilliant and determined. Zimmermann asks the difficult questions and her answers are sometimes surprising. A must read for anyone interested in Nicaragua - or in the overall issue of social change." - Margaret Randall, author of Sandino's Daughters and Sandino's Daughters Revisited

Textul de pe ultima copertă
"Zimmermann does an excellent job explaining the real content of the FSLN's internal differences, going a long way beyond the very schematic and surface readings that have appeared thus far. It is a pioneering effort and our understanding of the Sandinista revolution is substantially enriched by this study."--Barry Carr, LaTrobe University
