«La estructura social de Centroamérica» is the sociological essay by Marta Elena Casaus, published by Ediciones Akal in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
The work explains the Central American crisis of the late 20th century from its social structure: a high indigenous population (59.7% in Guatemala), a dominant elite of 1-2%, and more than half the population in extreme poverty. Faced with the power vacuum of the 1980s, traditional oligarchies return as modernizing entrepreneurs and technocrats to curb profound changes.
Volume 51 of the Historia de las Américas collection. Published in 1992; includes 33 illustrations.
Aimed at a general audience interested in the history and sociology of Latin America and the roots of regional inequality.
