Nicaragua and the Politics of Utopia: Development and Culture in the Modern State by Daniel Chávez (review)

The extended period covered by the book allows Brodsky to show change over time, but the thematic nature of the chapters often makes it difficult to keep track of how the different topics and themes relate to each other at different moments. Some chapters incorporate a lot of Argentine background and show the ways that the Sephardim inserted themselves into Argentine life, while others are narrowly focused on the Sephardim, or on the larger Jewish community. Because of the way the chapters are structured and argued—each one introducing a new topic and chronology—it is hard at times to follow the book’s larger argument from chapter to chapter.
