La Patria Del Criollo - An Interpretation of Colonial Guatemala

Informationen zum Autor Severo Martínez Peláez Klappentext "This is a top-rate translation, and "La Patria del Criollo" is a very important book, not just for Guatemalan and Central American historiography but for a broader audience of Latin Americanists. First published in 1970, it was well ahead of its time in its subtle analysis of both social relations and the worldview of colonial elites, the criollos of the title. The book is a rich example of how structuralists such as Severo Martinez Pelaez were trying to deal with culture and the contingencies of history."--Greg Grandin, author of "The Blood of Guatemala: A History of Race and Nation" Zusammenfassung This translation of a history of colonial Guatemala! first published in that country in 1970! makes a classic! controversial work of Latin American history available to English-language readers.
