| Summary |
Leading scholars of Central America offer critical analyses of major themes in the historiography of this seven-country region of Latin America. Chapters engage both the novice's search for basic orientation and context, and the experienced scholar's interest in evaluative critiques of the historical literature. "This handbook is currently in development, with individual articles publishing online in advance of print publication.
