商品簡介
Restores the region's fraught history of repression and resistance to popular consciousness and connects the United States interventions and influence to the influx of refugees seeking asylum today. While Central American migration is widely discussed, the histories and realities of Central America that were well known several decades ago and continue to profoundly shape the region today, are virtually erased from social memory. At the center of the American immigration debate are migrants from Central America fleeing corruption and violence in search of asylum in the United States. However, when we discuss these migrants, we often fail to acknowledge the circumstances and ongoing effects of Central America's historical political strife. In Central America's Forgotten History, Aviva Chomsky expertly connects the erasure of history to the current influx of Central Americans to the United States today, and how their past and present invisibility are directly related to the factors that cause them to migrate, exploit their labor, and justify their exploitation. Tracing the roots of displacement and migration in Central America to the Spanish conquest, Chomsky answers the urgent question of, How did we get here? Ultimately, concluding that the more immediate roots of migration from the three Northern Triangle countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) lie in the wars and U.S. interventions of the 1980s that spurred refugee streams and set the stage for increased U.S. presence, and in the 90s, the peace accords set the stage for neoliberalism in Central America. Chomsky recounts the era of revolution and war to restore the vivid and gripping events to popular consciousness. Exploring the issue of memory, Chomsky examines how and why histories and memories are suppressed, and the impact of losing historical memory.
