Denis Lynn Daly Heyck, ed.

4.9/5 (34442 ratings)

Description:From School Library JournalA revealing portrait of Nicaragua as exemplified by its people, this book is divided into three parts--political lives, religious lives , and survivors' lives. In all, 24 individuals narrate their own stories. Long before she announced she was running for the presidency, Violeta Chamorro talked about her wealthy upbringing and the difficulties of being married to a man who was continually in and out of prison. In another vignette, a 20-year-old girl longs for a good education, plus the chance to write a research paper and draw her own conclusions--not those imposed upon her. Guilhermina Fiedler has remarkably survived the dual horrors of Germany during World War II and the violent political oppression in Nicaragua, never dreaming that her grandchildren would battle the same causes. An excellent introduction offers a frame of reference for the book with good historical, political, and geographic background. An afterward summarizes interesting societal changes that these lives reflect: disrupted families; incomprehensible shortages of food, medicine, and durable goods; the massive exodus of the middle class; and the increased self-confidence of women in Nicaraguan society. An important book that helps readers understand, on a human level, what is happening to a very troubled neighbor of the United States. --Barbara Weathers, Duchesne Academy, HoustonCopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
