About this product
Product Information
Identity and Struggle at the Margins of the Nation-State brings together new research on the social history of Central America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Aviva Chomsky and Aldo A. Lauria Santiago have gathered both well-known and emerging scholars to demonstrate how the actions and ideas of rural workers, peasants, migrants, and women formed an integral part of the growth of the export economies of the era and to examine the underacknowledged impact such groups had on the shaping of national histories. Responding to the fact that the more common, elite-centered "national" histories distort or erase the importance of gender, race, ethnicity, popular consciousness, and identity, contributors to this volume correct this imbalance by moving these previously overlooked issues to the center of historical research and analysis. In so doing, they describe how these marginalized working peoples of the Hispanic Caribbean Basin managed to remain centered on not only class-based issues but on a sense of community, a desire for dignity, and a struggle for access to resources. Individual essays include discussions of plantation justice in Guatemala, highland Indians in Nicaragua, the effects of foreign corporations in Costa Rica, coffee production in El Salvador, banana workers in Honduras, sexuality and working-class feminism in Puerto Rico, the Cuban sugar industry, agrarian reform in the Dominican Republic, and finally, potential directions for future research and historiography on Central America and the Caribbean. This collection will have a wide audience among Caribbeanists and Central Americanists, as well as students of gender studies, and labor, social, Latin American, and agrarian history. Contributors . Patricia Alvarenga, Barry Carr, Julie A. Charlip, Aviva Chomsky, Dario Euraque, Eileen Findlay, Cindy Forster, Jeffrey L. Gould, Lowell Gudmundson, Aldo A. Lauria Santiago, Francisco Scarano, Richard Turits

Reviews
"This collection gives us a much more nuanced view of labor in these regions than previously available. Using archives and oral history, the writers successfully break through the screen of elite-centered history into the world of the masses."--David McCreery, Georgia State University, "This volume does an exceptional job of bringing together in a single volume very substantial new research on working people and their history in the Hispanic Caribbean Basin."--Ralph Lee Woodward Jr., Tulane University, "This is an important volume in Latin American labour history, which makes a welcome disciplinary contribution with its emphasis on ethnicity within labour dynamics and class formation."--British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2000" . . . a worthy mix of solid scholarship and first-rate editing. . . the decisive difference this book makes is in its attention to ethnicity, gender and race in relation to labour power, and the stripping away of the inclusive social categories often used by politicians and intellectuals. Though the 'State' figures importantly in nearly all of the essays, in analysis it often dissolves into contending factions like 'Indians', 'Negroes', or 'peasants', which must first be deconstructed in order to be understood at all. How racism, gender bias, chauvinism and ethnic hatred successfully transcend class differences at certain critical historical junctures is what much of the book is about. At the outset we are told that this is a volume of social history, and, indeed the essays are rarely concerned with the wholly contemporary. They add to our understanding of how labels may conceal or oversimplify history. They build fruitfully on the anthropological and historical insights of a different era, as much as they indict simplifiers and obstructions of the past." -- TLS, 27 August, 1999"This volume does an exceptional job of bringing together in a single volume very substantial new research on working people and their history in the Hispanic Caribbean basin."
