Struggling for survival workers women and class on a nicaraguan state farm
The transformation of production relations has been an important dimension of all twentieth-century social revolutions. In Nicaragua, the Sandinistas are attempting to radically overhaul production relations while struggling against the legacy of war and underdevelopment. Draw- ing on first-hand research on a large state farm in northwest Nicaragua, Gary Ruchwarger provides the first in-depth case study that reveals the extent to which class and gender relations have actually changed in the country's public sector. The author considers the economic context in which the Oscar Turcios
Chavarria tobacco and vegetable farm operates, and he explains the formidable obstacles that public enterprises face in meeting production goals. Ruchwarger describes the evolving class structure on the state farm, detailing the conflicts between workers, technicians, and managers over scant economic resources.
