Azul y Blanco (1914)

Azul y Blanco was a Nicaraguan fortnightly cultural and political magazine published in Managua, Nicaragua, in 1914. It is notable for its association with the conservative intellectual movement in Nicaragua and for contributing to the literary discourse of the era. The magazine's name, meaning "Blue and White," reflects the colors of the Nicaraguan flag.

Azul y Blanco served as a platform for writers, poets, and intellectuals to express their views on Nicaraguan society, politics, and culture. While short-lived, its contributors included prominent figures who shaped the intellectual landscape of Nicaragua during the early 20th century. The magazine's content often reflected a conservative perspective, critiquing aspects of modernism and advocating for traditional values. It played a role in the ongoing debates about national identity and the direction of Nicaraguan society during a period of significant political and social change, including the ongoing U.S. occupation of the country. The publication offered a space to express views often in opposition to liberal or progressive sentiments gaining momentum at the time. Although not a widely circulated publication, it has been studied by historians and literary scholars as a significant periodical representing a particular strand of Nicaraguan thought during this era.
