Students of Revolution
Author: Claudia RuedaPublisher: University of Texas Press

Pages : 305
Book Description
Students played a critical role in the Sandinista struggle in Nicaragua, helping to topple the US-backed Somoza dictatorship in 1979—one of only two successful social revolutions in Cold War Latin America. Debunking misconceptions, Students of Revolution provides new evidence that groups of college and secondary-level students were instrumental in fostering a culture of insurrection—one in which societal groups from elite housewives to rural laborers came to see armed revolution as not only legitimate but necessary. Drawing on student archives, state and university records, and oral histories, Claudia Rueda reveals the tactics by which young activists deployed their age, class, and gender to craft a heroic identity that justified their political participation and to help build cross-class movements that eventually paralyzed the country. Despite living under a dictatorship that sharply curtailed expression, these students gained status as future national leaders, helping to sanctify their right to protest and generating widespread outrage while they endured the regime’s repression. Students of Revolution thus highlights the aggressive young dissenters who became the vanguard of the opposition.

La casa de estudios
Author: Jaime BenítezNicaragua and the Politics of Utopia
Author: Daniel ChavezPublisher: Vanderbilt University Press
ISBN: 0826520499
Category : Political Science

Pages : 377
Book Description
The history of modern Nicaragua is populated with leaders promising a new and better day. Inevitably, as Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia demonstrates, reality casts a shadow and the community must look to the next leader. As an impoverished state, second only to Haiti in the Americas, Nicaragua has been the scene of cyclical attempts and failures at modern development. Author Daniel Chavez investigates the cultural and ideological bases of what he identifies as the three decisive movements of social reinvention in Nicaragua: the regimes of the Somoza family of much of the early to mid-twentieth century; the governments of the Sandinista party; and the present day struggle to adapt to the global market economy. For each era, Chavez reveals the ways Nicaraguan popular culture adapted and interpreted the new political order, shaping, critiquing, or amplifying the regime's message of stability and prosperity for the people. These tactics of interpretation, otherwise known as meaning-making, became all-important for the Nicaraguan people, as they opposed the autocracy of Somocismo, or complemented the Sandinistas, or struggled to find their place in the Neoliberal era. In every case, Chavez shows the reflective nature of cultural production and its pursuit of utopian idealism.
¿Quo Vadis, Universidad?
Author: Esteban Bara, FranciscoPublisher: Editorial UOC
ISBN: 8491163921
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Durante los últimos años, la educación universitaria vive un proceso de reforma continuo. Cada día que pasa se presenta una nueva metodología pedagógica, una original manera de evaluar, una insólita tecnología que aplicar en el aula, una inédita función del profesorado o una flamante competencia que adquirir. Todo eso está muy bien, especialmente para aquellos que se lamentaban por tener una educación universitaria caduca. Sin embargo, tanta mudanza y restauración ¿no habrán causado una cierta desorientación en torno a los fines y el ethos de dicha educación? La educación universitaria no ha funcionado como debiera si esta consiste en una especie de carrera de obstáculos, que son las asignaturas, para llegar al título, que es la meta. La realidad demuestra, por lo menos a nuestro entender, que año tras año un buen número de estudiantes no se percatan de que son miembros de una comunidad llamada universidad.
