Description
In A SHORT HISTORY OF GUATEMALA, Ralph Lee Woodward, Jr. (Ph.D., Tulane University, 1962) in brief synthesizes the exciting history of Guatemala from its ancient Maya heritage to the current. In response to just about a part-century of analysis at the history of this Central American republic, the work highlights the political, economic,and social evolution of Guatemala, with explicit emphasis at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With keen insight into the struggle for economic and social development since national independence in 1821, Woodward offers a brand new interpretation of the rustic’s past and present.
