Download or read book Sandinista Nicaragua s Resistance to US Coercion written by Héctor Perla, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How was the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) of Nicaragua able to resist the Reagan Administration's coercive efforts to rollback their revolution? Héctor Perla challenges conventional understandings of this conflict by tracing the process through which Nicaraguans, both at home and in the diaspora, defeated US aggression in a highly unequal confrontation. He argues that beyond traditional diplomatic, military, and domestic state policies a crucial element of the FSLN's defensive strategy was the mobilization of a transnational social movement to build public opposition to Reagan's policy within the United States, thus preventing further escalation of the conflict. Using a contentious politics approach, the author reveals how the extant scholarly assumptions of international relations theory have obscured some of the most consequential dynamics of the case. This is a fascinating study illustrating how supposedly powerless actors were able to constrain the policies of the most powerful nation on earth.

Book excerpt: The not-so-secret effort by the United States to aid Nicaraguans fighting the Sandinista government has been labeled by its detractors as President Reagan's "secret war." Without a doubt, this effort has been the most highly publicized and most closely scrutinized secret in American history. Debate surrounding this issue has been framed so as to create the public perception that the United States is waging a proxy war by paid mercenaries against a small Central American regime which it simply does not like. The real secret war is quite different. Silent and highly organized, the real secret war is political in nature, an internationally coordinated political campaign aimed at protecting and preserving the Sandinista regime from its opposition and from the United States. Sandinista political warfare in the United States is a phenomenon which has been going on for a decade, but few political leaders, scholars or journalists have consciously taken notes of its progress. Beginning as an outgrowth of the Hanoi lobby which had celebrated a hard-won victory when the Communists overran Southeast Asia, the Sandinista revolution lobby has played a major role in shaping the national debate on U.S. policy toward Nicaragua. An in-depth analysis of the machinery of this political warfare campaign, how it works, and how it has influenced Congress is the contexts of The Real Secret War.--back cover

Download or read book Unfinished Revolution written by Kenneth E. Morris and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together with his brother Humberto, Daniel Ortega Saavedra masterminded the only victorious Latin American revolution since Fidel Castro's in Cuba. Following the triumphant 1979 Nicaraguan revolution, Ortega was named coordinator of the governing junta, and then in 1984 was elected president by a landslide in the country's first free presidential election. The future was full of promise. Yet the United States was soon training, equipping, and financing a counterrevolutionary force inside Nicaragua while sabotaging its crippled economy. The result was a decade-long civil war. By 1990, Nicaraguans dutifully voted Ortega out and the preferred candidate of the United States in. And Nicaraguans grew poorer and sicker. Then, in 2006, Daniel Ortega was reelected president. He was still defiantly left-wing and deeply committed to reclaiming the lost promise of the Revolution. Only time will tell if he succeeds, but he has positioned himself as an ally of Castro and Hugo Ch&ávez, while life for many Nicaraguans is finally improving. Unfinished Revolution is the first full-length biography of Daniel Ortega in any language. Drawing from a wealth of untapped sources, it tells the story of Nicaragua's continuing struggle for liberation through the prism of the Revolution's most emblematic yet enigmatic hero.
Download or read book American Resistance written by Dana R. Fisher and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Donald Trump’s first day in office, a large and energetic grassroots “Resistance” has taken to the streets to protest his administration’s plans for the United States. Millions marched in pussy hats on the day after the inauguration; outraged citizens flocked to airports to declare that America must be open to immigrants; masses of demonstrators circled the White House to demand action on climate change; and that was only the beginning. Who are the millions of people marching against the Trump administration, how are they connected to the Blue Wave that washed over the U.S. Congress in 2018—and what does it all mean for the future of American democracy? American Resistance traces activists from the streets back to the communities and congressional districts around the country where they live, work, and vote. Using innovative survey data and interviews with key players, Dana R. Fisher analyzes how Resistance groups have channeled outrage into activism, using distributed organizing to make activism possible by anyone from anywhere, whenever and wherever it is needed most. Beginning with the first Women’s March and following the movement through the 2018 midterms, Fisher demonstrates how the energy and enthusiasm of the Resistance paid off in a wave of Democratic victories. She reveals how the Left rebounded from the devastating 2016 election, the lessons for turning grassroots passion into electoral gains, and what comes next. American Resistance explains the organizing that is revitalizing democracy to counter Trump’s presidency.
