Learning Democracy In and From Nicaragua: Concluding Perspectives --Bibliography --IndexHistorically, Nicaragua has been mired in poverty and political conflict, yet the country has become a model for the successful emergence of democracy in a developing nation. Learning Democracy tells the story of how Nicaragua overcame an authoritarian government and American interventionism by engaging in an electoral revolution that solidified its democratic self-governance. By analyzing nationwide surveys conducted during the 1990, 1996, and 2001 Nicaraguan presidential elections, Leslie E. Anderson and Lawrence C. Dodd provide insight into one of the most unexpected and intriguing recent advancements in third world politics. They offer a balanced account of the voting patterns and forward-thinking decisions that led Nicaraguans to first support the reformist Sandinista revolutionaries only to replace them with a conservative democratic regime a few years later. Addressing issues largely unexamined in Latin American studies, Learning Democracy is a unique and probing look at how the country's mass electorate moved beyond revolutionary struggle to establish a more stable democratic government by realizing the vital role of citizens in democratization processes.DemocratizationNicaraguaElectionsNicaraguaElectionsNicaraguaPublic opinionPolitical participationNicaraguaPublic opinionNicaraguaNicaraguaPolitics and government1990-Public opinionDemocratizationElectionsElectionsPublic opinion.Political participationPublic opinion324.97285/054Anderson Leslie(Leslie E.)1094439Dodd Lawrence C.1946-1810058MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956501603321Learning democracy4361186UNINA04549nam 22006254a 450 991095364840332120200520144314.01-282-59391-997866125939180-472-02512-0(CKB)2560000000012983(EBL)3414733(SSID)ssj0000419482(PQKBManifestationID)11252039(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000419482(PQKBWorkID)10382530(PQKB)10285520(MiAaPQ)EBC3414733(BIP)46250340(BIP)10681394(EXLCZ)99256000000001298320041027d2005 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe Heimat abroad the boundaries of Germanness /edited by Krista O'Donnell, Renate Bridenthal, and Nancy ReaginAnn Arbor University of Michigan Pressc20051 online resource (337 pages)Social history, popular culture, and politics in GermanyDescription based upon print version of record.0-472-03067-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Diasporic citizens : Germans abroad in the framing of German citizenship law / Howard Sargent -- Home, nation, empire : domestic Germanness and colonial citizenship / Krista O'Donnell -- German-speaking people and German heritage : Nazi Germany and the problem of Volksgemeinschaft / Norbert Gotz -- Blond and blue-eyed in Mexico City, 1821 to 1975 / Jurgen Buchenau -- Jews, Germans, or Americans? : German-Jewish immigrants in the nineteenth-century United States / Tobias Brinkmann -- German landscape : local promotion of the Heimat abroad / Thomas Lekan -- In search of home abroad : German Jews in Brazil, 1920-1933 / Jeffrey Lesser -- Germans from Russia : the political network of a double diaspora / Renate Bridenthal -- When is a diaspora not a diaspora? : rethinking nation-centered narratives about Germans in Habsburg East Central Europe / Pieter Judson -- German brigadoon? : domesticity and metropolitan Germans' perceptions of Auslandsdeutschen in Southwest Africa and Eastern Europe / Nancy R.

Bergen -- The politics of homeland : irredentism and reconciliation in the policies of German Federal governments and expellee organizations toward ethnic German minorities in Central and Eastern Europe, 1949-99 / Stefan Wolff.Germans have been one of the most mobile and dispersed populations on earth. Communities of German speakers, scattered around the globe, have long believed they could recreate their Heimat (homeland) wherever they moved, and that their enclaves could remain truly German. Furthermore, the history of Germany is inextricably tied to Germans outside the homeland who formed new communities that often retained their Germanness. Emigrants, including political, economic, and religious exiles such as Jewish Germans, fostered a nostalgia for home, which, along with longstanding mutual ties of family, trade, and culture, bound them to Germany. The Heimat Abroad is the first book to examine the problem of Germany's long and complex relationship to ethnic Germans outside its national borders. Beyond defining who is German and what makes them so, the book reconceives German identity and history in global terms and challenges the nation state and its borders as the sole basis of German nationalism.
