  • Mutual Integration Versus Forced Assimilation
    Mutual Integration Versus Forced Assimilation: The Conflict between Sandinistas and Miskitu Indians, 1979-1987 by Jordan Taylor Towne An honors thesis submitted to the Honors Committee of The University of Colorado at Boulder Spring 2013 Abstract: This study aims to i) disentangle the white man’s overt tendency of denigrating indigenous agency to ethnic identity and, through the narrative of the Miskitu people of Nicaragua’s Atlantic Coast, display that this frequent ethnic categorization oversimplifies a complex cultural identity; ii) bring to the fore the heterogeneity inherent to even the most seemingly unanimous ethnic groups; iii) illustrate the influence of contingent events in shaping the course of history; and iv) demonstrate that without individuals, history would be nonexistent—in other words, individuals matter. Through relaying the story of the Miskitu Indians in their violent resistance against the Revolutionary Sandinistas, I respond contrarily to some of the relevant literature’s widely held assumptions regarding Miskitu homogeneity, aspirations, and identity. This is achieved through chronicling the period leading to war, the conflict itself, and the long return to peace and respectively analyzing the Miskitu reasons for collective resistance, their motives in supporting either side of the fragmented leadership, and their ultimate decision to lay down arms. It argues that ethnic identity played a minimal role in escalating the Miskitu resistance, that the broader movement did not always align ideologically with its representative bodies throughout, and that the Miskitu proved more heterogeneous as a group than typically accredited. Accordingly, specific, and often contingent events provided all the necessary ideological premises for the Miskitu call to arms by threatening their culture and autonomy—the indispensible facets of their willingness to comply with the central government—thus prompting a non-revolutionary grassroots movement which aimed at assuring the ability to join the revolution on their own terms.

  • The Afro-Nicaraguans (Creoles) a Historico-Anthropological Approach to Their National Identity
    MARIÁN BELTRÁN NÚÑEZ ] The Afro-Nicaraguans (Creoles) A Historico-Anthropological Approach to their National Identity WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT a brief historico-anthropological ana- lysis of the sense of national identity1 of the Nicaraguan Creoles, I placing special emphasis on the Sandinista period. As is well known, the Afro-Nicaraguans form a Caribbean society which displays Afro-English characteristics, but is legally and spatially an integral part of the Nicaraguan nation. They are descendants of slaves who were brought to the area by the British between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and speak an English-based creole. 1 I refer to William Bloom’s definition of ‘national identity’: “[National identity is] that condition in which a mass of people have made the same identification with national symbols – have internalized the symbols of the nation – so that they may act as one psychological group when there is a threat to, or the possibility of enhancement of this symbols of national identity. This is also to say that national identity does not exist simply because a group of people is externally identified as a nation or told that they are a nation. For national identity to exist, the people in mass must have gone through the actual psychological process of making that general identification with the nation”; Bloom, Personal Identity, National Identity and International Relations (Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 1990): 27. © A Pepper-Pot of Cultures: Aspects of Creolization in the Caribbean, ed. Gordon Collier & Ulrich Fleischmann (Matatu 27–28; Amsterdam & New York: Editions Rodopi, 2003). 190 MARIÁN BELTRÁN NÚÑEZ ] For several hundred years, the Creoles have lived in a state of permanent struggle.

  • Say Nicaraguan Government and Popular Opinion
    “Gringo(s) go home” say Nicaraguan government and popular opinion latinamericagoesglobal.org /2016/07/gringos-go-home-says-nicaraguan-government-popular-opinion/ By Michael Zoorob / July 5, 2016 Click to read this article in Spanish Click to read this article in English On June 14, the Nicaraguan government expelled three individuals employed by the United States government. U.S. State Department Spokesman John Kirby decried the action as “unwarranted and inconsistent with the positive and constructive agenda that we seek with the Government of Nicaragua.” But, according to public surveys, it may be that Nicaraguans want a different agenda with the U.S.— or at least its military. Nicaraguan Ambassador to the U.S., Francisco Campbell, said that two of the U.S. officials were involved in anti- terrorism activities “carried out without the knowledge or the proper coordination with Nicaraguan authorities, which is … very delicate and sensitive.” He further emphasized to the United States “the necessity to inform (them) about official missions that come to Nicaragua, and to coordinate their work.” The two officials worked on export certification for the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. The third expelled individual was Evan Ellis, a professor at the U.S. Army War College whose research focuses on Latin American relations with China. Ellis, a civilian-employee of the U.S. government, visited Nicaragua to study the “Great Canal” project and was told to leave the country on short notice one evening soon after he arrived in country.

  • Nicaragua: Revolution and Restoration
    THE NEW GEOPOLITICS NOVEMBER 2018 LATIN AMERICA NICARAGUA: REVOLUTION AND RESTORATION RICHARD E. FEINBERG NICARAGUA: REVOLUTION AND RESTORATION RICHARD E. FEINBERG EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since independence, Nicaragua has suffered periodic internecine warfare, deep distrust between contending factions dominated by powerful caudillos (strongmen), and interventions by foreign powers. While the United States was frequently a party to these conflicts, local Nicaraguan actors often outmaneuvered U.S. diplomats. At the end of the Cold War, internationally supervised elections yielded an interlude of relatively liberal democracy and alternation of power (1990-2006). To the consternation of the United States, Sandinista Party leader Daniel Ortega regained the presidency in 2007, and orchestrated a successful strategy of coalition-building with the organized private sector and the Catholic Church. Supported by the international financial institutions and the Venezuelan Chavista government, Nicaragua achieved strong economic performance with moderately inclusive growth. President Ortega used those economic resources to gradually capture or suppress—one by one—many of the nation’s political institutions, eroding institutional checks and balances. Ortega’s strategy of co-opting all centers of power extended to the military and national police. The restoration of traditional caudillo politics and the fusion of family-state-party-security forces were all too reminiscent of the Somoza family dynasty (1934-1979). Frustrated by Ortega’s narrowing of democratic

  • Guidance Note on the Outflow of Nicaraguans
    GUIDANCE NOTE ON THE OUTFLOW OF NICARAGUANS International protection needs 1. Nicaragua continues to be affected by a grave political and social crisis giving rise to violence and human rights abuses.1 Many Nicaraguans have consequently had to flee their country. Given the volatility of the situation, this is expected to continue. Based on UNHCR and partner profiling and border monitoring exercises, UNHCR observes that the majority of asylum claims are based on individuals’ real or imputed political opinion,2 and therefore considers that they are likely to be in need of international refugee protection. 2. Accordingly, UNHCR calls on States to allow Nicaraguans access to their territory and provide them with access to the asylum procedure and international protection as needed, in line with their obligations under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, applicable regional and national instruments, while flagging the relevance of the Cartagena Declaration.3 UNHCR stands ready to provide technical support and expertise as required by States seeking to improve the accessibility, fairness, and efficiency of their asylum processes. 1 Inter American Commission on Human Rights, Nicaragua: CIDH expresa preocupación por situación de personas migrantes y refugiadas nicaragüenses y llama a los Estados de la región a adoptar medidas para su protección, 15 Agosto 2018, http://www.refworld.org.es/docid/5b759e5f4.html; Inter American Commission on Human Rights, Nicaragua: Graves violaciones a los derechos humanos en el marco de las protestas sociales en Nicaragua, 21 Junio 2018, http://www.refworld.org.es/docid/5b3a693a4.html; UN News Centre, Nicaragua debe poner fin a la "caza de brujas" contra las voces disidentes, 9 Agosto 2018, http://www.refworld.org.es/docid/5b6c9dce4.html; Amnesty International, Nicaragua: Disparar a matar: Estrategias de represión de la protesta en Nicaragua, 29 Mayo 2018, http://www.refworld.org.es/docid/5b0d94114.html.
