Delphine Lacombe, « Violencias contra las mujeres. De la revolución a los pactos de poder, Nicaragua (1979-2008) », HAL SHS (Sciences de l’Homme et de la Société), ID : 10670/1.9def3c...
This book analyses the construction of sexist violence as a public issue in Nicaragua, a process consubstantial with the birth of the second wave of Nicaraguan feminism. It takes a critical look at the historical trajectory of this phenomenon, through a civil conflict inscribed in the dynamics of the Cold War, and three different and successive political regimes: the end of the Somoza dictatorship, the Sandinista revolutionary period and the attempt to establish democracy. The book deciphers how the institutional treatment of gender-based violence is caught up in a game of competition for power, dominated by male guardian figures. Finally, it shows how gender is a key category of analysis for understanding the return to authoritarianism.
