This popular text surveys the history or the Central American region, covering Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, froom pre-Columbian times to the present. It emphasizes the common characteristics of the Central America states as well as their potential for political union.
Now completely updated, the third edition of Central America: A Nation Divided encompasses the significant new research and tumultuous events that have taken place sice the last edition was published. The text now includes coverage of the civil war in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, as well as the restoration of peace to the region under the Central American peace accords. It also recounts and analyzes the substantial changes that have occured in teh economic and social arenas as Central America states have turned increasingly to neoliberal policies that emphasize the private sector and the development of exports while reducing government entitlement programs. Students will find this text enormously helpful for sorting through the vast amounts of significant reseach that has been written and complied in the past decade. In addition, the Selective Guide to the Literature section has been completely revised to reflect the great increase in research and writing and writing on Central America. Comprehensive and incisively written, Central America: A Nation Divided is an essential text for Latin American History courses. |
