Product Description
Armed conflict in Central America - notably in Nicaragua and El Salvador - has increased public awareness of what had been a largely ignored corner of the world. Elsewhere in the Caribbean basin, Cuba has been in the headlines since the Castro regime took power three decades ago and other Caribbean nations, such as Grenada and Haiti, have also had their moments of fame and notoriety. This dictionary is the companion to "The Dictionary of Contemporary Politics of South America" and provides a guide to the most important organizations, figures, events and themes in the politics of this complex area. The countries covered are Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, British Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, St Vincent, St Lucia, Dominica, St Kitt's, Nevis, Antigua, Puerto Rico.
