Autobiography of a small giant

Abstract

This is the autobiographic account of the most important Sumo leader of the last century.  Until  his death, he  embodied  the  history  of  his  people:  grandeur  vastly  distributed  In  Nicaraguan  names;  the generalized  discrimination that  this ethnic  group  was subjected  to  for  centuries;  the  precarious  struggle for  its  subsistence  during  the  second  world  war, when the  main economic  activity of  the  Sumo people was  picking  tuno trees  for  rubber  production  in  the impenetrable mountains of  Northern  Nicaragua; the accusations  against the  mining  companies that  poisoned  the  water  of  its  rivers  and  the  blood  of  its sons;  the  courage  in  the  struggle  for  its  ancestors' territories  and  its  proven  willpower to  obtain  a  better future  through work and  education.
