Reviews

Jose Maria Montero's Omar Cabezas, Nicaragua, and the Narrative of Literation: To the Revolution and Beyond brings into focus the work of Omar Cabezas, one of the most compelling Nicaraguan revolutionary writers of the twentieth century. Through an intelligent comparative analysis of liberation discourse that situates Cabezas' writing alongside other prominent Nicaraguan authors-Ernesto Cardenal, Gioconda Belli, and Sergio Ramirez-Montero's book appreciates the ethical, political, and theoretical richness of the testimonio, and, at the same time, uncovers the often-forgotten aesthetic conditions that define liberation discourse and revolution in Nicaragua. -- Brianne Orr-Alvarez, The University of British Columbia
