DYNAMICS OF THE CULTURE IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Abstract

Rafael Cuevas Molina, Guatemalan investigator who lives in Costa Rica, develops in this work an approach to the culture of Central America, a model of plurality and sincretism from his origins in the prehispanic cultures, the impact of the conquest and the European colonization, and the transplant of the African cultures to the Atlantic coast of the isthmus. The dynamics of this culture has multiple dimensions that are marked by its geographical situation, its historical past, its proximity with United States of America and its condition of small and poor countries.
