Central America, 1821-1871: Liberalism before Liberal Reform

Lowell Gudmundson

3.3/5 ( ratings)

Central America and its ill-fated federation are often viewed as the archetype of the “anarchy” of early independent Spanish America. This book consists of two interralted essays dealing with the economic, social, and political changes that took place in Central America, changes that let to both Liberal regime consolidation and export agricultural development after the middle of the last century. The authors provide a challenging reinterpretation of Central American history and the most detailed analysis available in English of this most heterogeneous and obscure of societies. It avoids the dichotomous and the centralist treatments dominant in the existing literature and is required reading for anyone with an interest in 19th century Latin America.
