Patriarch and Folk: The Emergence of Nicaragua, 1798-1858

No Customer Reviews

The painful 60-year process that brought Nicaragua from colonial status to incipient nation-state is the focus of this examination of inner struggle in a key isthmian country. E. Bradford Burns shows how Nicaragua's elite was able to consolidate control of the state and form a stable government, resolving the bitter rivalry between the two cities Leon and Granada, but at the same time began the destruction of the rich folk culture of the Indians, eventually reducing them to an impoverished and powerless agrarian proletariat.
