Convictions of the Soul: Religion Culture and Agency in the Central America Solidarity Movement
Sharon Erickson Nepstad
Abstract
This book examines the Central American solidarity movement based on the cultural-agency approach. It also explores the challenges of organizing at the transnational level. People of faith were at the center of this movement, determined to change President Reagan’s foreign policy towards Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. To achieve this goal, some petitioned Congress to stop aid to those responsible for human rights violations in the region. Many attended protests, marches and commemorative vigils.
Keywords: Central America, solidarity movement, cultural-agency approach, mobilization
