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 cultures.
Pearcy begins with the Maya in ancient Mesoamerica, then moves on
to discuss European contact and the subsequent subjugation of the
people of Central America by the Spaniards during the Colonial
period. The book also covers the National period, independence
movements, and the subsequent development of independent, sovereign
Central American nations. It concludes with a look at the
mid-twentieth century, when 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.
