The Sandinista revolution led to a burst of transnational solidarity with Nicaragua. In West Germany there were over 300 groups some of them left-wing, some Christian, and some libertarian committed to supporting the aims of the Sandinistas. Based on research in Germany and Nicaragua, the dissertation examines transnational networks and practices of solidarity, with particular attention to Nicaraguan agency.
