The story of Central America is one of plunder and pillage by the nations of the world: The gunboat diplomacy of the United States; the influence of the CIA; the greed of giant international corporations; the tragedy of slavery and conquest.
This part of the world has never known stability or peace. The Catholic Church and the melting pot of black, white, Spanish and Indian created strange creeds and beliefs. The mineral and agricultural resources attracted the manipulation and greed of industrial giants. The massive emerging economy of illegal drugs buys entire governments. Poverty provides the seeds of a criminal class and a corrupt bureaucracy. Weak governments create a fertile climate for dictatorships and socialist ideologies.
There are 63 languages recognized by the government in Mexico alone. The wealth of this region has been concentrated in a tiny yet powerful group of people in each of these counties, making the general population live in poverty in a region of plentiful resources.
This second book of the Latin America Enigma series explores the history and the people important to the modern reality of Central America. This is the book you must read to understand this volatile part of the world.
