Photographer Paul Dix worked in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace from 1985 to 1990 documenting the impacts of US foreign policy on the citizens of Nicaragua. In 2002 he and Pam Fitzpatrick began returning to Nicaragua, searching for a particular 100 of those photographed by Paul. This book focuses on 30 of those individuals. It includes photographs of each from both the 1980s and the present, as well as personal background information and compelling testimonies. Memories of five of these people are also depicted in color drawings crafted for Paul in the 1980s. Includes a background essay on the Contra War as well as a more in depth overview of the long history of US involvement in the affairs of Nicaragua.
220-page bilingual coffee table book features 111 photographs
