Nicaragua in Focus, A Guide to the People, Politics and Culture

Nicaragua in Focus, A Guide to the People, Politics and Culture

by Hazel Plunkett

  • GUIDEBOOK
  • 2002
  • PAPER
  • 100 PAGES

Essential reading for Nicaragua, this compact, illustrated travel guide focuses on politics, economy, history and culture. It's especially strong on the difficult history of relations with the U.S. but also includes a good short summary of traditional culture and history from colonial times to the present. It's an excellent overview, strong on facts and unabashedly left-of-center in outlook.  (CAM71, $12.95)
