Hey I need help with this book review, if anyone has read it and would like to help me out that would be GREAT! thanks = )

Roger N. Lancaster (1994) Life is Hard: Machismo, Danger, and the Intimacy of Power in Nicaragua.
In one page please briefly (shortly, succinctly) answer the following six questions:

1) What is the book about?
2) What are the central themes of the ethnography? (List at least 5).
3) What is Lancaster’s main thesis?
4) What does the author means by “life is hard?
5) Who are the main characters or protagonists?
6) What is the cultural relevance of machismo, homophobia and homosexuality in
the author’s analysis of the Sandinista revolution?

Thanks
