The Frente Sandinista de Liberacion Nacional (FSLN) gained power in Nicaragua in 1979 through a militant revolutionary struggle that succeeded in accomplishing unprecedented popular mobilization of heterogeneous groups. The Sandinista revolution purported to construct a new Nicaragua, in which the realization of full citizenship and widespread prosperity would be feasible. Articulating this new vision of the Nicaraguan nation, the FSLN promised gender equality, as well as increased respect for human rights, freer political expression, and a higher overall standard of living. Through the
implementation of the revolutionary project, the Sandinistas delineated gender relations in
both explicit and implicit ways that were sometimes contradictory, because notions of
femininity and masculinity helped constitute nationhood itself. This thesis focuses on
constructions of gendered identity and their relation to nationalism, considering personal
stories, public rhetoric, and institutional players all within a larger framework of change (and consistency) in social relations. |
