Reviews 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., " 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, " 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, "Enríquez'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 Doméstica, Enríquez'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.

Table Of Content1. Situating the Stories of Andrea, Silvia, Ana, and Pamela 2. Childhood and Coming of Age in Nicaragua 3. Violent Expressions of Gender Inequalities 4. Emigrating for Their Children to Get Ahead 5. The Children of Andrea, Ana, and Pamela Conclusion

SynopsisAndrea, Silvia, Ana, and Pamela were impoverished youth when the Sandinista revolution took hold in Nicaragua in 1979. Against the backdrop of a war and economic crisis, the revolution gave them hope of a better future - if not for themselves, then for their children. But, when it became clear that their hopes were in vain, they chose to emigrate. Children of the Revolution tells these four women's stories up to their adulthood in Italy. Laura J. Enríquez's compassionate account highlights the particularities of each woman's narrative, and shows how their lives were shaped by social factors such as their class, gender, race, ethnicity, and immigration status. These factors limited the options available to them, even as the women challenged the structures and violence surrounding them. By extending the story to include the children, and now grandchildren, of the four women, Enríquez demonstrates how their work abroad provided opportunities for their families that they themselves never had. Hence, these stories reveal that even when a revolution fails to fundamentally transform a society in a lasting way, seeds of change may yet take hold., Andrea, Silvia, Ana, and Pamela were impoverished youth when the Sandinista revolution took hold in Nicaragua in 1979.

Hence, these stories reveal that even when a revolution fails to fundamentally transform a society in a lasting way, seeds of change may yet take hold., Tracing the lives of four women as they came of age in revolutionary-era Nicaragua and later immigrated to Italy, this book examines social agency and its limits in the context of present-day Latin America and Europe.
