Nicaragua

A classic of photojournalism, "Nicaragua" presents an extraordinary narrative of a country gripped by turbulence and uncertainty and traces the evolution of the popular resistance that led to an insurrection and would culminate with the triumph of the Sandinista revolution in 1979. The photographs are a cautionary tale about the barbarities of the modern civil war and delve into the repressive political struggle in Latin America. The book includes "Pictures from a Revolution," a DVD in which Meiselas returns to the places she photographed and interviews some of her subjects about the realities of post-revolution Nicaragua."Un clasico del fotoperiodismo, "Nicaragua" presenta una narrativa extraordinaria de un pais en turbulencia y traza la evolucion de la resistencia popular que dio lugar a la insurreccion y que culmino con el triunfo de la revolucion sandinista en 1979.
