Children of the Revolution

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Children of the Revolution weaves women's biography with Nicaraguan history in capturing the essence of sociological imagination to illustrate structural violence and agency embedded in surviving revolution and the aftermath of structural adjustment policies. Narrating compelling transnational migration stories of four mothers and their children, Enriquez reveals the personal cost of violence and inequality and mothers' heroic efforts to build a better life for the next generation."-Mary Romero, author of The Maid's Daughter "Enriquez's meticulously analyzed oral history makes the case that even when revolutions falter, newly ignited consciousness remains and fuels agentic migration trajectories, yielding both generational sacrifices and gains."-Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, author of Domestica "Children of the Revolution: Violence, Inequality, and Hope in Nicaraguan Migration serves as a living testimony to the intersections of race, place, and gender. Through rich interview data, Enriquez explores the compelling lived experiences of women who suffered unspeakable hardship, witnessed remarkable societal change, and broke cycles from previous generations to build opportunities and safety for their children."-Karolina Staros, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity
