Imperial Shadows: Central America's Struggles

This chapter examines the historical impacts of Spanish colonialism and U.S. imperialism in Central America, focusing on how these forces fostered oligarchical rule and deepened economic inequalities. It discusses the violent revolutionary movements of the 1970s and 1980s, rooted in systemic oppression, and the socio-political landscape shaped by foreign interventions. The narrative reflects on the enduring legacy of these historical dynamics, connecting them to modern resistance movements and ongoing struggles against authoritarianism.
