Sergio Ramırez出版的《Adios Muchachos:桑地诺革命回忆录》,适逢这位尼加拉瓜著名作家的七十岁生日,以及他作为作家的五十周年纪念。这本关于桑地诺革命的引人入胜的内部叙述是Ramırez有限的英文作品的一个受欢迎的补充,他出版了数十本获奖小说,短篇小说集,政治著作和历史研究。Ramırez参与了1970年代末推翻索摩萨独裁政权的最高级别努力,革命胜利后,他在国家重建军政府任职,并从1985Á1990开始担任尼加拉瓜副总统。鉴于他对十多年来吸引世界想象力的事件的广泛直接经验,以及他作为作家的令人印象深刻的才能,塞尔吉奥Ramırez是讲述这个故事的完美人选。作为“美国遭遇/全球互动”系列丛书的一部分,杜克大学的拉丁美洲翻译作品集《Adios Muchachos》是一个完全合适的选择,编辑吉尔伯特·m·约瑟夫和艾米丽·s·罗森伯格解释说,“该作品集旨在激发对美国雄伟的全球存在历史的批判性观点和新的解释框架。”Ramırez提供了与美国革命相关的美国政治制度的深刻见解,他在题为“天定命运”的章节中以以下方式描述了这一点:“反帝国主义始终是最常见的观点:美洲的文学和艺术ISSN 0890-5762印刷/ISSN 1743-0666在线©2013史蒂文·f·怀特http://www。tandfonline。com http://dx。doi。org/10.1080/08905762.2013。780922《评论:美洲文学与艺术》,第86期,第46卷,2013年第1期,149Á151
The publication of Adios Muchachos: A Memoir of the Sandinista Revolution by Sergio Ramırez coincides with the renowned Nicaraguan author’s seventieth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his life as a writer. This fascinating inside account of the Sandinista Revolution is a welcome addition to the surprisingly limited number of works available in English by Ramırez, who has published dozens of prize-winning novels, collections of short stories, political writings, and historical studies. Ramırez was involved at the highest levels in the efforts to overthrow the Somoza dictatorship in the late 1970s and, after the triumph of the revolution, served in the Government Junta for National Reconstruction and also as Nicaragua’s vice president from 1985Á1990. Given his extensive direct experience of the events that captured the world’s imagination for more than a decade and his impressive talents as a writer, Sergio Ramırez is the perfect person to tell this story. Adios Muchachos is an entirely appropriate choice for Duke University’s Latin America in Translation collection, part of the ‘‘American Encounters/Global Interactions’’series, which, editors Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg explain,‘‘aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global presence of the United States.’’Ramırez provides profound insights into the US political system in relation to his country’s revolution, which he characterizes in the following way in the chapter entitled ‘‘Manifest Destiny’’:‘‘Anti-imperialism was always the mostReview: Literature and Arts of the Americas ISSN 0890-5762 print/ISSN 1743-0666 online© 2013 Steven F.
