This special Nicaragua-focused issue of Casa de las Américas magazine (Number 128, September-October 1981) celebrates revolutionary solidarity between Cuba and Nicaragua during the early years of the Sandinista government. The cover, designed by Umberto Peña, prominently features the official seal of the Republic of Nicaragua with its iconic triangular emblem containing volcanoes and sun, set against horizontal bands of green and white that echo the Nicaraguan flag colors. Published under the direction of Roberto Fernández Retamar with Fernando Butazzoni as chief editor, this issue includes articles by prominent figures including Ernesto Cardenal on "La paz mundial y la revolución en Nicaragua" (World Peace and the Revolution in Nicaragua), demonstrating Cuba's intellectual and political support for the Nicaraguan Revolution. The magazine also features contributions on literature, culture, and politics from across Latin America, maintaining Casa de las Américas' role as a premier platform for revolutionary cultural exchange. This issue represents the height of Cuban internationalist solidarity with Nicaragua, published during a period when both nations faced intense pressure from the United States and when Cuba was actively supporting the Sandinista government through cultural, educational, and political collaboration.
