Description
Book SynopsisHow Nicaragua's least powerful citizens have fared since the Sandinista revolution.
Trade Review"This will be a very significant contribution to gender studies, the literature on social movements, and our understanding of post-socialist societies... Its clear and sensitive writing style makes it very valuable for classes and a broad audience, while its sophisticated understanding of contemporary theory on development, social movements, and discourse analysis makes it useful for more specialised readers." Frances Rothstein, Professor of Anthropology, Towson University "After Revolution is a thoughtful account of what has happened to low-income urban women and men in the aftermath of the FSLN's electoral loss." - Journal of Latin American Studies, August 2002
