Description

Discover the rich and tumultuous history of El Salvador, from its pre-colonial roots to its modern-day challenges and triumphs.

This updated edition of The History of El Salvador offers a comprehensive and objective exploration of the Central American nation's past. From the pre-colonial Indigenous history to the present day, this book delves into the key events and figures that have shaped El Salvador. Topics include the Spanish conquest, civil wars, mass migration, gang violence, and the rise of the world's "coolest dictator." This volume provides valuable insights into the historical roots of contemporary issues, making it an essential reference for students, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the deep connections between the USA and El Salvador. Further study is aided by the inclusion of short biographies of key figures in the country's history, a detailed timeline, and a glossary.
