About the Book

Una visión de doble fondo en cuanto a la naturaleza volcánica del país, que a su vez se repite en su historia con sus sacudimientos, explosiones y llamaradas.

«El 18 de abril de 2018 el país al que me había mudado poco más de un año antes comenzaba a hacer erupción. En esos días estaba a mitad de la reportería sobre la relación de los nicaragüenses con sus volcanes».

Estas cuatro líneas dan inicio a un libro que consta de 12 crónicas escritas en Nicaragua. Sabrina Duque, ecuatoriana, tenía en marcha el proyecto con el que ganó la Beca Michael Jacobs de Crónica Viajera, que concede la Fundación Gabriel García Márquez para el Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano, el Hay Festival de Cartagena y The Michael Jacobs Foundation for Travel Writing.

«En el camino», sigue la autora, «la coyuntura me atropelló». Sin renunciar al proyecto inicial, Sabrina no pudo dejar de incorporar lo que está pasando en Nicaragua a partir -y antes- de aquella fecha fatídica del 18 de abril, en la que, al igual que un volcán que hubiese estado dormido, «los nietos de la revolución» estallaron y, con ellos, inició una lucha pacífica en contra de la dictadura Ortega-Murillo, tan parecida a la de Somoza, presente todavía en la memoria de los padres y abuelos de estos jóvenes. VolcáNica -que contrae las palabras volcanes y Nicaragua, y que además deja constancia de la manera en la que los centroamericanos nos referimos a los nicaragüenses, nicas- es, en palabras de Sergio Ramírez, «un reportaje agudo, intenso, perspicaz, escrito por una joven periodista que ha viajado intensamente por el territorio de Nicaragua, y ofrece una visión de doble fondo en cuanto a la naturaleza volcánica del país, que a su vez se repite en su historia con sus sacudimientos, explosiones y llamaradas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A double-layered vision of the volcanic nature of Nicaragua, which is also reflected in its history of shake-ups, explosions, and outbursts.

"On April 18 of 2018, the country I had moved to a little over a year before started to erupt. At that time I was halfway through reporting on the relationship between Nicaraguans and their volcanoes." Those lines kick off a book that consists of 12 chronicles written in Nicaragua. Sabrina Duque, from Ecuador, was working on the project that won her the Michael Jacobs Travel Writing Grant, which is awarded by the Gabriel García Márquez New Journalism Foundation, the Cartagena Hay Festival, and the Michael Jacobs Foundation for Travel Writing. "Along the way," she continues, "the situation trampled me." Without giving up on her initial project, Sabrina couldn't help but incorporate what is happening in Nicaragua as of--and before--that fateful April 18th in which, like a volcano that had been dormant, "the grandchildren of the revolution" burst onto the scene and with them, a peaceful fight against Ortega-Murillo's dictatorship, which is so like that of Somoza, still fresh in the memories of the young peoples' parents and grandparents.

VolcaNica--which combines the word volcanic and the Central American nickname for Nicaraguans, nicas--is, in the words of Sergio Ramírez, "acute, intense, insightful reporting, written by a young journalist who has traveled intensely around Nicaragua, and offers a double-layered vision of the country's volcanic nature, which is also reflected in its history of shake-ups, explosions, and outbursts.
