Central America is an extraordinarily beautiful part of the world,
with sweeping panoramic vistas of tropical vegetation, towering
mountains, and striking ethnic and racial diversity. This tropical
paradise has a history as diverse as its people and its cultures.
Starting with the Maya in ancient Mesoamerica, the History of
Central America continues with European contact and the the
subjugation of the people of Central America. Spaniards
eastablished and ruled their Central American empire during the
Colonial period. That led to the National period, independence
movements, and the subsequent development of independent, sovereign
Central American nations. By the mid-20th century, the economies,
governments, and populations of the seven republics had evolved so
distinctly that each has its own unique set of challenges to deal
with today. Pearcy examines the development of each individual
nation and the regional similarities that propelled or constrained
that development. Ideal for students and general readers, the
History of Central America is part of Greenwood's Histories of
Modern Nations series. With over 30 nations' histories in print,
these books provide readers with a concise, up-to-date history of
countries throughout the world. Reference features include a
biographical section highlighting famous figures in Central
American history, a timeline of important historical events, a
glossary of terms, and a bibliographical essay with suggestions for
further reading.
