Revolution and the multiclass coalition in Nicaragua

Description:

"Deepens and qualifies recent theories stressing the special vulnerabilities of neopatrimonial dictatorships to revolutionary overthrows. An intensive analysis of Nicaraguan social actors and movements, crucial events, and economic processes is supplemented by contrasts with other Latin American cases, especially El Salvador. Far more depth, nuance, and sense of missed historical possibilities than in the usual writings on the topic"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
