View through CrossRef
Aviva Chomsky’s Central America’s Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration shows how decades of US influence over security and economic policies led to Central America’s current lack of governance, security, and economic opportunity, which combine to force migration to the United States. Chomsky’s multidisciplinary analysis traces how US programs for state-building, national security, and economic restructuring, especially in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, found a receptive elite yet disenfranchised the majority. The author offers a well-resourced, complete and concise history of interest to readers with and without expertise in Latin American studies. En Central America’s Forgotten History: Revolution, Violence, and the Roots of Migration, Aviva Chomsky delinea cómo décadas de la política norteamericana han llevado a la falta actual de gobernación, seguridad y oportunidad económica en América Central la cual ha propiciado la migración a los EEUU.

Este conciso pero completo libro menifiesta acercamientos diversos que serán de interés tanto a los lectores con pocos conocimientos de la América Latina como a los expertos en la historia de la región.
