Throughout its history Nicaragua has been plagued by corruption,
social and racial inequality, civil unrest, and foreign
interference. Yet despite being the second poorest nation in South
America, Nicaragua maintains a rich and vibrant culture that
reflects its strong Catholic devotion, diverse indigenous roots,
and overwhelming zest for life. Culture and Customs of Nicaragua
introduces students and general readers to Nicaragua's unique blend
of religious and traditional holidays, so numerous that the country
is said to be in a constant state of celebration; its growing film
industry; its many styles of dance, the popular "street theatre"
open to all bystanders; important contributions to Spanish
literature, local cuisines, architecture, social norms, and more.
Readers learn what it is like to live in one of Latin America's
most disillusioned countries but also discover the passionate
culture that defines and sustains the Nicaraguan people.
