Rosa of the Wild Grass: The Story of a Nicaraguan Family

Rosa of the Wild Grass is a memoir written in the first-person and is accessible as an entertaining and easy read to reach a wide audience. It is also an excellent resource for students and teachers of Latin American Studies, Gender Politics, Globalization, Human and Trade Union Rights.

Rosa’s story explains a great deal about Nicaragua, especially from a woman’s point of view. The intimacy and immediacy captured in this work inspired the author to paint a series of stark black and white images to illustrate this story.
