	Gabriel García Márquez and Nicaragua:

		Cabezas became well known after publication of La montaña es algo más que una inmensa estepa verde (1982), a testimonio documenting his experiences as a guerrilla fighter with the Sandinista National Liberation Front during the seventies.
		Cabezas attained the rank of Comandante in the eighties, and since the electoral defeat of the Sandinistas has served as a Deputy in Nicaragua's National Assembly.

	Revista Envío - CDS: Revolution in the Barrio
		Cabezas, who is known for his earthy language and easy rapport with ordinary Nicaraguans, spent the first several months after a national assembly of grassroots leaders approved his appointment making surprise visits to neighborhoods around the country, observing meetings and talking with participants.
		Cabezas: I think that the greatest political value is the exercise of real participatory democracy, where people participate not as objects, but as conscious subjects who exercise power and use it to transform their reality.
		Cabezas: It could have an effect of greater revitalization, a positive effect, because the war has always been a disturbing element in everything, in the educational system, in production, in health and I don't think community organization is any exception.

	Review of Hunsaker
		But in this chapter, Chungara's transparency in relationship to "the people" is depicted as a kind of triumph, an achievement that is lacking in the more depressing (and by implication less successful) works of Campbell and de Jesus, both of whose narrative selves remain relatively thick in relation to their respective communities.
		Omar Cabezas's book, in contrast, "exploits myths of the Nicaraguan national essence as an outlet for the new sense of personal identity that follows his experiences as a guerrillero, but also to depict the FSLN as the embodiment of the united popular will" (63).
		It is in his discussion of Cabezas, in fact, that he comes closest to articulating a critique of Beverley's privileging of testimonio by viewing the Nicaraguan author's "we" as a strategy that "levels the differences between people to create an impression of unanimity" (73).

		Notes: The film, made at the height of the civil war with the Contras is clearly aimed at presenting the Sandinista perspective on the conflict.
		Cabezas, Mendienta, and Bolt represent the educated revolutionary perspective while the numerous ordinary peoples interviewed talk represent the scope of popular grass roots support for the Revolution.

	Fire from the Mountain (Film Review) \| Nicaragua Living
		A semi-autobiographical examination of the revolutionary spirit, experience, and history, as told by and via Cabezas, who offers a look into the Sandinista mind-set, via a history of the conflicts in Nicaragua over the more than previous 50 years.
		Among those interviewed are Omar Cabezas; Leonardo Cordorba (a farmer, who met Sandino as a young man); Rosario Altamarino (congresswoman); Alan Bolt (playwright); Jose Mendienta (government official); Pilar Monzon (farmer), and others.
		The combination of direct interviews and archival footage ads a certain authenticity to the project, irrespective of one’s views on Cabezas, whose story is told from that of a youth living under Somoza, to that of an underground fighter.

		Oscar-winning documentarian Deborah Schaffer uses interview and archival footage to trace the 1927-1987 history of Nicaragua's Sandinista movement in this nonfiction feature.
		Based on the autobiographical book by revolutionary poet Omar Cabezas, Schaffer's film shows how Cabezas and thousands of others were radicalized while enduring injustices under the oppressive (and U.S. government-supported) Somoza regime.
		The film also examines how the Sandinista-led revolution eventually grew to sweep away the Somozan government, only to be opposed by the U.S.-backed Contras.

		Subtitled, The Making of a Sandinista, this book is a friendly-reading personal story of the life of Omar Cabezas starting before English-speaking people had ever heard of a Sandinista.
