Sandino Rebellion

Exemplifying the innovative scholarship of faculty in the History & Political Science Department, Assistant Professor Michael Schroeder's website on The Sandino Rebellion in Nicaragua, 1927-1934 currently houses nearly 800 primary documents, and when completed will integrate over 12,000 documents culled from repositories in the United States and Nicaragua. Still under construction, the website offers a unique opportunity for students, scholars, and ordinary citizens to investigate key questions of the modern era, including nationalism, state formation, guerrilla war, identity formation, popular rebellion, gender relations, social memory, and the ironies of the imperial enterprise. LVC has recently awarded Dr. Schroeder a Pleet Grant for faculty-student collaborative research that will further strengthen the Sandino Rebellion archive.
