Beyond
the Volcano
Julie Lamin
(2019)
When the only thing you have left to lose
is your life, would you choose to fight for the lives of
others?
Fifteen year-old Stella, Walter and Leonie want
to go to school, but when the National Army of
Sharrowland declares war on young people over fourteen,
their only hope of staying alive is to join the
Resistance. Like them,
Oscar
and Freddie also endure the hardships of war and share
their dream of a free and peaceful Sharrowland.
Inspired by a three-week stay in Nicaragua in 2017,
‘Beyond the Volcano’
is about hope and the belief that when
brave young people work together, they can achieve the
future they deserve.
For young adults (12+) and other adults too!

Rosa
of the Wild Grass; the Story of a Nicaraguan Family
Fiona Macintosh (Latin
America Bureau & Practical Action Publishing,
2016)
During the 1980s the author became friendly with Rosa, a
woman from a peasant family and later returned many
times to visit and record her. These
stories of three generations are illustrated with beautiful
woodcut-style images.
Under the Somoza dictatorship,
Rosa’s testimony of life with the Sandinista rebels
during the insurrection is wrought with anxiety. Then she shares her optimism for the changes
brought by the 1979 revolution - that is until the
destruction of the contra War and the electoral defeat
of the Sandinista government. Over the
subsequent decades Rosa and her family show how those
social programmes they fought for were cut,
bringing back poverty and social breakdown. Yet throughout,
Rosa tells how the 'seeds of wild grass' have kept
growing: tiny community initiatives that enable families and communities to survive
enormous hardship.
Rosa is a
superb read, full of the realities of peasant family
life, the Catholic Church, magical beliefs, community
spirit and cooperatives, the transition from rural to
city life and back… and the problems: machismo, drink,
violence, petty corruption, money-lenders, and the quest
for work by migrating to Costa Rica and the USA.
