La formación del Estado en Nicaragua, 1860-1930

"Studies the changes in the Nicaraguan State's role as the economy shifted from indigo to coffee and displaced elite groups. Argues US intervention in 1912, in alliance with non-coffee producing plantation elites in Granada, delayed the consolidation of power by coffee-growing elites until 1926, and fragmented an already weak national oligarchy. Highly suggestive work"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
