About the Book

Escribir los pormenores de la movilización militar se convierte en una memoria que alumbra zonas oscuras de la revolución sandinista.

Un joven poeta recibe la orden de documentar una peligrosa misión militar que consiste en la evacuación violenta y forzosa de los indígenas miskitos desde su ancestral hábitat en el Caribe nicaragüense hacia una zona nombrada, irónicamente, Tasba Pri, que en lengua miskita significa "Tierra Libre".

La destrucción de aldeas, la violación de sus códigos ancestrales y el desconocimiento de su cultura crean una fisura que separa y divide al grupo entre quienes defienden una unidad impuesta desde el poder para hacer frente a la agresión contrarrevolucionaria financiada por Estados Unidos, y quienes consideran que la misma revolución, con su proceder errático, está plantando la simiente de su propia aniquilación.

La crítica ha opinado:

"Vuelo de cuervos escenifica el drama íntimo de convertirse en Otro para sobrevivir." -Gerald Martin-

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Writing about the details of military mobilization becomes a memory that illuminates dark areas of the Sandinista revolution.

A young poet receives the order to document a dangerous military mission that consists of the violent, forced evacuation of the indigenous Miskito people from their ancestral lands on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua to a zone named, ironically, Tasba Pri, which in the Miskita language means "Free Land."

The destruction of villages, the violation of their ancestral codes, and ignorance of their culture create a fissure that separates and divides the group between those who defend an imposed unity to face the counterrevolutionary aggression financed by the United States, and those who consider that the same revolution, with its erratic course of action, is planting the seed of their own annihilation.

The critics have said:

"Flight of Crows presents the intimate drama of becoming the Other in order to survive." -Gerald Martin
