DESCRIPTION - What were the dramatic changes brought by the first seven years of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua? How have the lives of the rural poor and rich changed? Are the hungry eating better? This book, incorporating many revisions in this new, third edition, comes up with some surprising answers. In discussing the new government's efforts to build a food and farming system that can meet the needs of the poor and at the same time increase exports, it shatters many of the misconceptions about Nicaragua created in Washington. When, in 1979, the Nicaraguan people toppled the Somoza dictatorship, the Sandinista-led government distributed the Somoza family's property-about twenty percent of agricultural land-to the people. At the same time, they left a full two-thirds of the farmland in private hands. Since that time, the Nicaraguans have followed the same bold strategy of incorporating both capitalist and state enterprises in rebuilding their society. In doing so, they have witnessed some dramatic successes. In a nation where, under Somoza, the richest two percent of landowners controlled half the farmland, and where sixty percent oldie children went hungry, the Nicaraguans have achieved near total self-sufficiency in food production, provided approximately 40,000 landless peasants with access to land, cut the infant mortality rate by one-third, and achieved other notable breakthroughs. Yet, they have also faced obstacles and failures. The diet of city dwellers has not improved and unemployment remains high. By delving into every major issue affecting food production-land reform, the mixed economy, innovative fanning methods, and popular participation in decision-making, to name a few-the authors have provided an excellent 'food window' through which to see and judge the Sandinista revolution. inventory #9926 Very Good in Dustjacket.
