Description
Introduces readers to Nicaragua's vibrant culture, which reflects its people's strong Catholic devotion, diverse indigenous roots, and enthusiasm for life in the face of extreme poverty.

Reviews:
-"One useful feature found in each section is a listing of significant poets, artists, musicians, etc. for the time periods covered. The book includes a chronology of important events in Nicaraguan history and a calendar of important religious and traditional festivals. This book is recommended for readers who want to learn more about the culture of Nicaragua." —REFORMA Newsletter
-"The volume on Nicaragua presents a wide range of information in an evenhanded way. . . . [F]or those looking for a reference tool the text not only reviews historical events that shaped the nation, but also offers insight into gender, social, and political challenges that the people of Nicaragua face today. The authors discuss geography and agricultural realities that influence its culture, most notably its location in Central America that has made it a bridge for the migration of species and people. Included in each volume are a chronology, appendixes listing important religious and traditional events, a bibliography, and an index. (Reviewed with Culture and Customs of the United States)." —MultiCultural Review
