Iván Molina Jiménez. La educación en Costa Rica de la época colonial al presente
The quest for representative democracy has proven difficult, if not elusive, for many Latin American nations in the two centuries since independence. The history of Costa Rica, however, provides an example of a country that has achieved considerable success in this quest. Public education often enters discussions of how this small Central American republic has been able to build a relatively resilient democracy. Most histories of education confin…
Reporting the Cuban Revolution: How Castro Manipulated American Journalists
In January 1957 Fidel Castro's small band of rebels was in an obscure struggle for survival in the mountains of Cuba's Oriente Province, but by the spring of 1958 his name and bearded face had appeared in Look, Life, and on newspaper front pages across the United States. Leonard Ray Teel's succinct account explains how the Cuban revolutionary won the confidence of thirteen reporters from the United States to build a premeditated public image in n…
The Bookrunner: A History of Inter-American Relations - Print, Politics, and Commerce in the United States and Mexico, 1800-1830

International Communications and International Crises in Latin America, 1867-1881
The building of the network of submarine telegraph cables in Latin America changed the ways in which diplomats, politicians, business leaders and journalists conducted their affairs. This new network played a part in the resolution of several international crises. Cable communications alerted a British gunboat that brought an end to the summary executions in Cuba (ordered by a Spanish general) of sailors and passengers from a captured ship, the V…

Showdown in South America: James Scrymser, John Pender, and United States–British Cable Competition
The British dominated the world's submarine cable business over the second half of the nineteenth century, but they encountered significant challenges in the 1880s and 1890s—especially from James Scrymser, an upstart entrepreneur from New York. Scrymser exploited a strategic gap in the cable system in the Western Hemisphere and became locked in a confrontation along the west coast of South America with John Pender, the leading British cable magna…

Teacher Unionization and the Corporate State in Mexico, 1931-1945
THE unionization of public schoolteachers was one aspect of the sweeping social and economic changes that occurred in the Mexicaln Revolution. Some students of modern Latin America have looked beyond the origins of such spontaneous worker and peasant movements to emphasize the role of government in the creation of social and economic institutions. Fredrick Pike has suggested that Mexico's President Lazaro Cairdenas (1934-1940) carried out reforms…

In terms of social change, political scientist S. N. Eisenstadt, …
Indian Education, Nationalism, and Federalism in Mexico, 1910-1921
The years of violence in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1924) have been viewed as a period of upheaval and disruption in which governments toppled, politicians were killed or banished, and the caudillo held sway. However, in such times ideas and institutions often continue to evolve in spite of revolutionary chaos. Mexican education in the second decade of the twentieth century revealed at least two important trends of a peaceful nature: the growth…
