CfP: International, Transnational, and Global Histories of the Nicaraguan Revolution, 1977–1990
On 19 July 1979, Nicaraguan guerrillas from the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (Sandinista National Liberation Front, or FSLN) overthrew the regime of Anastasio Somoza. Their victory ended the decades-long dictatorship and ushered in an era of dramatic revolutionary change. Indeed, the Nicaraguan Revolution was a defining moment, not only for Latin America and the Caribbean, but also for the United States, Europe, and many countries in the global South.
