Honduras: The Making of a Banana Republic
Faced with a changing situation that included a rise in crime and loss of human rights, Hondurans have raised a spirit of nationalism against America, argues Canadian journalist Acker in this timely and incisive workone of the few on this Central American country. She also contends that because of Communist hysteria, the United States has dispossessed peasants and corrupted the government to gain military footing for its Contras. Acker shows how the historical forces that shaped Honduras left it open to foreign encroachment, and she sees no easy future for the country. Essential for scholarly collections.
