The Sacred Politics of Revolutionary Faith
This presentation examines the integrated relationship between religious practice and political identity in Nicaragua during a period of intensified church-state conflict. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in July 2025 in rural Matagalpa communities, the research documents how local residents experience faith and revolutionary consciousness as unified and competing domains.
