Review

"Outstandingly crafted and exhaustively researched."--Choice

Review

"This is a truly remarkable piece of work that reflects extensive research over a very large period. Its focus on cultural history makes it a unique book in Central American studies. It represents the most thorough study of the relationship between culture, politics, and the evolution of society that has yet been done on Nicaragua."--Ralph Lee Woodward, Jr., Tulane University
