This is a
placeholder
homepage for what is envisioned
as a portal to repositories of materials
relating to book projects. At present two
such projects are in progress. One has the
working title, The Sandino Rebellion:
Empire-Making, Social Revolution, and
Counterinsurgency in Las Segovias, Nicaragua,
1927-1934. A second is provisionally
titled Los Voluntarios: A Failed
Counterinsurgency Experiment of the US Marines
in the Mountains of Northern Nicaragua,
1927-1932. It is envisioned
that this portal-in-waiting will serve as a
gateway to the online, digital "half" of these
hybrid print-web books — volumes published in
hard-copy by a university press, linked
organically to materials to be housed in these
pages. The plan is for reader friendly,
easy to navigate chapter-by-chapter dialogues
with the printed books that will include photos,
maps, explanatory notes and references, links to
related materials, and more extended discussions
of key topics. That is the plan.
(Because as all students of Mexican history and
of history in general know, if you're hoping to
spearhead a revolution, you've got to have a
plan.)
