"An accessible, timely, much-needed study. With its consideration of #MeToo movements and similar activism in Honduras and Nicaragua, A Praxis of Persistence brings discussions of Central American women's organizing and agency into the twenty-first century. Nietch's cross-cultural case studies, emphasis on discursivity, and seamless integration of qualitative and quantitative methods make her approach and analysis all the more robust and multifaceted. I cannot think of another book that shows as this one does the vital importance of understanding Central American women's activism as part of a larger global conversation." — Yajaira M. Padilla, author of From Threatening Guerrillas to Forever Illegals: US Central Americans and the Cultural Politics of Non-Belonging
