A translation of José Luis Rocha's Spanish language study of the student movement as a key part of the demonstrations against the government of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo in 2018, this book explores the causes and possible future repercussions of the uprising in national and regional contexts. This book reveals the willingness of university students to to imagine and fight for a new and different Nicaragua without the Achilles' heels of social movements of the past. Rocha shows us why the student mobilizations happened, how they demand a cultural change toward a more open, just, and sustainable society; and how they reflect cultural changes that are already happening and that no government can hope to completely control. Whether changes come with or without blood, Rocha argues, 'the decision for change has already been made.'Anthony Bebbington, Clark University (U.S.A.), University of Manchester (England), University of Melbourne (Australia)
