  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.

Personally, I’m still struggling to come to terms with the rising signs of intolerance in this country and around the world, and the human rights implications of some policies promoted by the incoming administration. While I’m proud of the work our Center has done to date, I’m also more convinced than ever that now is no time to rest on our laurels. I invite you, with this Annual Report, to take a “deep dive” into different areas of our work, to get to know a few of the terrific students, faculty, and programs that make our Center tick. And then I urge you to please get involved in helping us envision the ways forward for grants, and the publication of new books and articles. 2017.

  • Many of You Have Been Asking, So Let Us Start This Newsletter with an Update on Nicaragua As We Understand It
    _______________________________________________________________December 2018 Many of you have been asking, so let us start this newsletter with an update on Nicaragua as we understand it. From our perspective and that of those we work with and serve, the unrest is not as restless as it once was1 and yet, the U.S. Embassy has kept the travel alert level high. This has prevented many delegations from traveling here to volunteer and learn. In September, there was violence at one opposition rally and a 16-year old boy was killed. One of the government’s responses to the murder was to require that all marches, demonstrations, etc., get a permit before events and if announced that if organizers did not get permits, then people would be arrested.2 When 20 plus people were arrested for demonstrating without a permit, they were released the next day and so far – at this writing – that teen was the last death that we know of due to the unrest. Bishop Silvio Baez, the auxiliary bishop for Managua, was recorded calling for the “death blockades” [roadblocks] to be put back up, the execution of Pres. Ortega, and being willing to even work with “abortionists, homosexuals, drug traffickers” and anyone else to over- throw the government. Some have said that the recording is a fake, but Baez admit- ted to a reporter that it was a private meeting and “unfortunately someone recorded it.” 500,000 people have signed a petition to the Vatican calling for the Bishop to be removed from his post. There have been people jailed. How many depends on who Photo: www.ensemble-fdg.org you believe.

  • US Peace Activists in Nicaragua
    Outraged and Organized: U.S. Peace Activists in Nicaragua Elissa Denniston History 486B Professor Nancy Appelbaum May 11th, 2007 On July 19, 1979, Sandinista revolutionaries entered Managua, the capital of Nicaragua, and declared victory over the oppressive Somoza dynasty which had ruled the nation for over three decades. The radical shift of power within this Central American nation had a profound effect both on the lives of Nicaraguans and the climate of international politics, particularly within the Cold War context. Throughout the next ten years, social upheaval and economic crisis within Nicaragua led to the influx of thousands of volunteers from both the United States and the rest of the world who worked on development projects and, during the Contra War, projects promoting peace. Those who traveled from the United States to Nicaragua during the 1980s had assorted backgrounds: men, women, clergy, lay persons, recent college graduates, and retirees were among the diverse people who went to Nicaragua to help combat the poverty in the developing nation. These U.S. peace activists often met with Sandinista leaders and worked side by side with them on economic reform programs and social reform programs. The central question which this paper will address is why the peace activists choose the Sandinista cause as their own. What would cause U.S. peace activists to not only go against the official policy of their own government, but risk their own lives working in a war torn nation? It cannot be explained simply by peace activists identifying with the leftist, idealistic goals of the Sandinista regime.
