  1. Nicaragua
    A Revolution Under Siege

    Resource Type: Book
    Latin American and U.S. scholars and journalists present an independent analysis of the first five years of the Sandinista Revolution. They show the immense problems - organizational, economic, political - faced in transforming a society distorted by decades of the Somoza dictatorship, problems made much more difficult by the U.S.A.'s continuous pressure since 1979 and the CIA's covert war of subversion.
  2. Nicaragua
    A New Kind of Revolution

    Resource Type: Book
    From these forty-five interviews emerges a vivid picture of how life in Nicaragua has been transformed by the revolution. These interviews, even though some express opposition to the Sandinistas, reveal the depth of the changes that have taken place in Nicaragua, wide-spread support for revolution and almost unanimous opposition to the U.S. supported Contras. Here is the collective voice of a new kind of revolution involving not only traditional Marxists, but many others besides.
  3. A Painful Struggle for Renewal
    Against The Current vol. 87

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2000
    Twenty-one years after the Sandinista National Liberation Front's triumph of July 1979, and ten years since the FSLN government lost power in an electoral upset, Nicaragua's political and economic picture is generally bleak. Widespread corruption, natural disasters made more catastrophic by social and environmental mismanagement, and a debilitating political pact between the top levels of the Liberal government (PLC) and the FSLN have sucked much of the life from the once vibrant popular movements. At the base, these movements are struggling for a renewal and reorientation.

    Volume 24: Problems of Socialist Renewal: East & West

  7. Triumph of the People
    The Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua

    Resource Type: Book
    This is the story of Latin America's first successful revolution since Cuba. Here is the first major study of the Sandinista Revolution. It focuses mainly on the years of armed struggle and on the exciting process of consolidation. It shows how the Samoza dynasty came to power and what kind of distorted capitalist "family state" it built under U.S. patronage. The author then tells the story of the overthrow of the dictatorship.
  8. Women and the Sandinista Revolution
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1987
    The Sandinista National Liberation Front must lead the struggle for thr education and conscientization of the entire society towards the eradication of discrminiation against women, which obstructs their full incorporation into the revoluntary process.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
