Description

This never-before-published prose manuscript is Roque Dalton’s analysis of US domination in Central America—from the exploits of William Walker in the 1800s to 1972—where he argues that local oligarchies are the primary force preventing Central American independence.

An enormously influential figure in the history of Latin America as a poet, essayist, intellectual and revolutionary. As a poet who brilliantly fused politics and art, his example could be said to have permanently changed the direction of Central American poetry. His legacy extends beyond his achievements as a poet to his political writings and his work as revolutionary.
