Given the strategic location of Central America, its importance to U.S. foreign policy, and the flow of migration from the region to other parts of the world, succinct historical summaries of the countries of Central America are a useful resource to students and teachers, policy makers, journalists, and others interested in the region. U.S. foreign policy-strategic economic interests, aid, military assistance, and military intervention-has played a significant role in the history of Central America and this legacy informs many of today's current events in the region as well. Each chapter focuses on an individual country, mapping a timeline of key events and themes. Imagining Central America was funded by a grant from Seattle International Foundation with recognition of the importance in developing a resource to educate important stakeholders about Central America"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Central America $x History. 700 1 $a Belisle Dempsey, Isabeau J., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cosgrove, Serena, 1963- $t Imagining Central America $d Cincinnati, Ohio : University of Cincinnati, [2022] $z 9781947602946 $w (DLC) 2022005489 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502014057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E39CF50D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
