Photographer Paul Dix worked in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace from 1985 to 1990 documenting the impacts of US foreign policy on the citizens of Nicaragua. In 2002 he and Pam Fitzpatrick began returning to Nicaragua, searching for a particular 100 of those photographed by Paul in the 1980s. This bilingual book focuses on 30 of those individuals. It includes photographs of each from both the 80s and the present, short background information for each person, segments of their testimonies, and in five cases, color drawings made by these individuals as children, depicting their memories of the attacks they survived. The book includes a short overview of the Contra War in general as well as a more indepth overview of the long history of US involvement in the affairs of Nicaragua. Prologues by Gioconda Belli and Richard Boren and history of US involvement by Mark Lester.

As a teacher, I bought this book for my class on Latin American history. The English and Spanish editions are perfect for my bilingual students. It sparked some great discussions! Just wish it had more visuals to break up the text a bit.

Interesting but dense material
The book is full of fascinating information about U.S.-Nicaragua relations. However, I found some sections a bit too dense and hard to follow, especially in Spanish. It’s a solid read if you're persistent, but don’t expect it to be light reading!

A must-read for history buffs
I picked up 'Surviving the Legacy of U.S. Policy' after hearing about Nicaragua's history. The dual-language format is great for practicing my Spanish while learning. It really dives deep into the political dynamics, and I loved how it balances both perspectives. Definitely worth a read!

Didn't meet my expectations
I thought this book would offer a straightforward overview, but it’s more like a textbook. I was hoping for personal stories alongside the analysis. It’s informative, but I felt it lacked the narrative quality I was looking for. Still, I learned a lot!

A compelling read for activists
This book is an eye-opener for anyone interested in social justice. It really highlights the effects of U.S. policy on Nicaragua. I appreciate the bilingual format too! It's a powerful resource for activists and scholars alike. Highly recommend for those wanting to understand the complexities.
