Nicaragua: Herty Lewites and the American Left

Categories: Latin America, Nicaragua, Politics

Marc Cooper, lamenting the lack of coverage on the death of Nicaraguan political veteran and presidential candidate Herty Lewites, starts a heated discussion on the American left's general lack [1] of interest in the country. Russel takes Marc's challenge and offers six links about Nicaragua in the “lefty press” from the last five years [2]. Inmer says that Lewites was trying to establish a new left in Nicaragua (ES) [3] and that he “centered his presidential campaign on the promise of ending the strongman system of governance.”
