Nicaraguan Migration

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Nicaragua maintained one of the most powerful economies of Central America until the late 1970s, even in the face of an oppressive authoritarianism that had been in existence since the first half of the century. The year 1979 marked the point in time when the Sandinistas took over, bringing to bear their revolutionary political style, starting a downward economic and social spiral that would not cease for more than a decade (Harris, 1993) and encouraging thousands upon thousands of Nicaraguans to seek a better life in Miami. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
