Culturally and ethnically Central America is a diverse region formed by seven nation states (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama) that share certain historical commonalities rooted in the legacies of indigenous, mestizo, and African cultures, and European colonialism. Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica were former colonial territories under the jurisdiction of the Spanish colonial government based in Guatemala, which jointly declared their independence from Spain (1821) and Mexico (1823) and formed the fleeting Central American Federation (1823-1838). After the collapse of the Central American Federation, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica emerged as independent republics. Panama declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and joined Colombia but it was never fully integrated into that country. Panama tried to secede several times from successive incarnations of Colombia (i.e., La Gran Colombia, Nueva Granada, the United States of Colombia, and the Republic of Colombia) and finally became a republic in 1903 in the context of imperial politics related to the construction of the Panama Canal. Belize, formerly known as British Honduras, declared its independence from Great Britain and formed a parliamentary government in 1981. For the longest time Guatemala unsuccessfully claimed Belize as part of its national territory. This class is organized topically in three parts: The human and territorial characteristics of the region, a brief background on the conquest and colonization of Central America, and the history of modernity in Central America. Drawing on landmark and recent historiography, the course examines topics in the independence of Central America, the formation of the modern nation states, race and nation, U.S.-Central American relations, agro-export economies, authoritarianism and social revolution, and religion and politics, to elucidate facets of modernity in Central America.
