Sommario/riassunto

With unprecedented use of local and national sources, Lauria-Santiago presents a more complex portrait of El Salvador than has ever been ventured before.  Using thoroughly researched regional case studies, Lauria-Santiago challenges the accepted vision of Central America in the nineteenth century and critiques the ""liberal oligarchic hegemony""



model of El Salvador.  He reveals the existence of a diverse, commercially active peasantry that was deeply involved with local and national networks of power.
