| description | During the last three decades, Nicaragua has undergone three quite different political and economical models: the extended somozist dictatorship, eleven years of a sandinist revolution marked by war and economic blockade, and the setting up of neoliberal model at the beginning of the nineties. The rupture between sandinism and neoliberalism has to be radical as Nicaragua considers itself politically, economically, legally and ideologically transformed. Subcontracting foreign textile factories, the maquilas, then settled down, and became the major source of new employment opportunities. Working conditions and the workers status at the maquila did not appear like the past ones. This article aims to follow these transformations using the story of people who has worked during these three historical periods in order to outline, through their experiences and representations, the strength of the new reality. Therefore we shall divide the article in two parts: one is dedicated to the workers’ accounts, the other one to the story as a vehicle for historical knowledge. |
