THIS IS THE HOMEPAGE OF
THE DOCUMENTARY ANNEX FOR THESE EAST COAST PAGES,meant in part to accompany my article "Social
Geographies of Grievance & War: Nicaragua's Atlantic
Coast Region in the First Sandinista Revolution,
1926-1934," Dialectical Anthropology, September
2012.
Immediately below one will
find an interactive map that
identifies key features of the
Caribbean Coast's social & economic
geography in the time of the Sandino
Rebellion.
Below
that are links
to pages that examine various
aspects of the rebellion on the
Coast, focusing in particular on the
EDSN's sporadic incursions into the
region, from the first raids on the
mining districts in March-April 1928
until the end of the war & Sandino's
assassination. Most of these
pages are currently in progress.
Click on
the legend labels to toggle
various social-geographic
features. This map is
adapted from several published &
unpublished maps. The
"Unoccuped, Disputed & Pacified
Zones" schema is from
Julian C. Smith, "A Review of
the Organization and Operations
of the Guardia Nacional de
Nicaragua" (unpublished mss., MCRC,
1933, opposite p. 44). The
zones of densest Miskitu &
Creole settlement are adapted
from Wolfgang Gabbert,
Creoles-Afroamerikaner im
karibischen Tiefland von
Nicaragua (Die Deutsche
Bibliothek: Hamburg, 1992).
Other features are based on
archival sources. Many
thanks to Arnold-Grant funded
Lebanon Valley College
student-researcher Zachary A.
Knecht for his excellent work
creating this map.
Links to 14 additional pages
on the seven major EDSN
incursions into the Atlantic
Coast region & its western
