Una semblanza de la Centroam rica contempor nea.

Coordinaci n de Luis Guillermo Sol s, expresidente de Costa Rica.

Qu es Centroam rica en el siglo XXI? Qu pasa con esta regi n de 500.000 km y cincuenta millones de habitantes, volc nica en su geograf a, y volc nica en su historia pol tica, en cuanto a sus sistemas econ micos, la distribuci n de la riqueza, la condici n social de sus habitantes, la igualdad de g nero, las poblaciones ind genas, sus recursos naturales y el medio ambiente, el estado de la educaci n? Y la suerte de la democracia, el autoritarismo, los derechos humanos, las elecciones, la libertad de expresi n?

Este libro pretende levantar el velo y ofrecer una aproximaci n a esa realidad a trav s de la visi n de un grupo de eminentes pensadores e investigadores de distintas disciplinas, bajo la coordinaci n del expresidente de Costa Rica, Luis Guillermo Sol s Rivera, l mismo historiador y cient fico social y pol tico. Una fotograf a m ltiple que ayudar al lector a conocer y entender Centroam rica, en esta serie de ensayos escritos con amenidad y sin distancias acad micas.

«La regi n centroamericana, ese estrecho istmo que enlaza las dos masas continentales, ha sido, a lo largo de la historia, un lugar de encuentro, desde las migraciones ind genas que llegaron del norte y el sur y all mezclaron sus culturas y lenguas, hasta los hechos de la conquista, cuando se buscaba el paso entre los dos oc anos a trav s de esa angosta cintura geogr fica.

Un escenario de conflictos sangrientos y gestas heroicas desde la independencia, cuando los sue os de una rep blica federal se vieron frustrados por luchas intestinas abanderadas por caudillos, hasta la llegada del siglo XX cuando la b squeda de la modernidad democr tica se vio frustrada por dictaduras militares, golpes de Estado, intervenciones extranjeras y revoluciones fallidas.

Qu es Centroam rica en el siglo XXI? .

Sergio Ram rez, presidente de Centroam rica Cuenta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A portrait of contemporary Central America.

Coordinated by Luis Guillermo Sol s, former president of Costa Rica.

What is Central America in the twenty-first century? What is it with this 200,000-square-mile and 50-million-inhabitant region, with volcanic geography and volcanic political history, on the matter of economic systems, distribution of wealth, the social standing of people, gender equality, indigenous peoples, natural resources and the environment, the state of education? And what about the fate of democracy, authoritarianism, human rights, elections, freedom of speech?

This book intends to lift the veil and offer an approximation of this reality through the eyes of a group of prominent thinkers and researchers from several disciplines, under the coordination of Costa Rica's former president, Luis Guillermo Sol s Rivera, a historian himself, and social and political scientist. A vast picture that will help readers know and understand Central America in this series of essays written with amenity, safe from academic distance.

"The Central-American region, this stretch isthmus that connects two continental masses, has been a gathering place throughout history, from indigenous migrations from the north and south that combined their cultures and languages, to the facts of the conquest, when peopled looked for passage between the two oceans through this narrow geographical region.

A stage for bloody conflicts and heroic deeds, from the independence, when the dream of a federal republic was thwarted by civil strife leaded by caudillos, to the arrival of the twentieth century, when the search for democratic modernity was thwarted by military dictatorships, coups, foreign interventions, and failed revolutions.

What is Central America in the twenty-first century?"

Sergio Ram rez, president of Centroam rica Cuenta.
