"Finally, a study that moves beyond abstract assertions of the
importance of a transnational perspective to demonstrate
compellingly why transnationalism matters in the specific context
of Central America. This is a rich, interdisciplinary look at
regional history, politics, and society--of immense value for
students of Latin American studies and transnationalism
alike."--Thomas Legler, coeditor of "Promoting Democracy in the
Americas" Political theorists tend to write about the countries of
Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) either as individual nation-states
or as the pawns and victims of international intervention. What
these approaches ignore is the shared history of these countries,
which were a single nation until domestic and colonial forces
dissolved it in the early nineteenth century. In "Transnational
Politics in Central America," Luis Roniger argues for the
importance of examining the connected history, close relationships
and mutual impact of the societies of Central America upon one
another. Eschewing well-trod theoretical approaches that do not
account for the existence of transnational dynamics before the
current stage of globalization, this landmark book identifies
recurring trends of state fragmentation and attempts at
reunification or social and political association in the region
over the past two centuries. Luis Roniger, Reynolds Professor of
Latin American Studies at Wake Forest University, is the author of
fourteen books, including "The Legacy of Human Rights Violations in
the Southern Cone; Democracy, Clientelism, and Civil Society"; and
"The Politics of Exile in Latin America."
