Summary:

"Major work focusing on Honduras' northern coast challenges traditional assumption that dominant position of foreign banana companies in region precluded significant, active role for local capitalists and workers. New understanding emerges of 'military populism' and other peculiar features of 20th-century Honduran political history"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas
