Transición desde el subdesarrollo

"Work focuses on Central American events before and after the Sandinistas' 1979 ascent to power in Nicaragua, but prior to their 1990 electoral defeat, and weaves together analyses of socioeconomic transformations, regime-types and transitions, and international pressures to understand (especially but not only) the transformations of Nicaraguan State and society. The most distinctive contributions include a focus on the working class, both as participants in insurrections and as foci of postrevolutionary policy"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
