"This innovative volume makes a key contribution to debates around the role of the university as a space of resistance by highlighting the liberatory practices undertaken to oppose dual pressures of state repression and neoliberal reform at the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA) in Nicaragua. Using a critical ethnographic approach to frame the experiences of faculty and students through vignettes, chapters present contextualized, analytical contributions from students, scholars, and university leaders to draw attention to the activism present within teaching, research, and administration while simultaneously calling attention to critical higher education and international solidarity as crucial means of maintaining academic freedom, university autonomy, oppositional knowledge production, and social outreach in higher education globally. This text will benefit researchers, students, and academics in the fields of higher education, educational policy and politics, and international and comparative education.Those interested in equality and human rights, Central America, and the themes of revolution and protest more broadly will also benefit from this volume. Wendi Bellanger is Provost and Academic Leader of the Universidad Centroamericana (UCA), Nicaragua. Serena Cosgrove is Faculty Coordinator of Seattle University's Central America Initiative and Associate Professor in International Studies at Seattle University, USA. Irina Carlota Silber is Professor of Anthropology at the City College of New York, USA"--
