Descripció:The objective of this research is to explain how the high-risk activism of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) of Nicaragua was generated and developed. For this, the political opportunities for its emergence and the reasons for the choice of violent confrontation repertoire in combination with another non-violent one are reconstructed; the leadership of Carlos Fonseca and his angular role in the construction of Sandinist frameworks that attracted thousands of young people to mobilize are examined; and, finally, the profile of the activists is reconstructed, the factors that influenced that type of commitment, the volume and forms of recruitment according to different contexts of recruitment and political conjunctures. For this purpose, a corpus of 121 in-depth interviews of activists of the Sandinista Front was used, giving them a qualitative and descriptive statistical treatment.
