Excellent posts!

Excellent posting!  I just read through everyone's posts for the last week and am so pleased with your insights.

Miguel, I have been thinking about your question today about whether or not there are Central American texts published with conservative viewpoints about what has happened over the last century.  If there are, they have not made it into the canon, which, remember, is formed by academics.  I did think of a few conservative texts from the early twentieth century:  Pedro Joaquin Cuadra Chamorro (father/uncle to Pablo Antonio Cuadra, one of the founders of the Anti-Academia; also patriarch of powerful Chamorro family) published very conservative novels that served as comportment manuals for young Nicaraguan women.  These were _Las dos mujeres_ (192?) and three short novels, "El manto de Jesus", "El gobierno del hijo prodigo" and "Los tres azotes del diablo" (1927).  There was also a comportment manual, _La mujer y el hogar_ by Manuel Rosales (Guat) published in 1930 that was apparently well-received throughout the isthmus.  It was also common to see protests and complaints about the Nueva Mujer in periodicals throughout the 1920s and 30s.

In 1936, Somoza published a scathing biography of Sandino titled, _El verdadero Sandino_.  He meant to discredit the hero that he martyred.

Ediciones F & G in Guatemala published Odette Arzu's memoir in three volumes as a document of the privileged lives and perspectives of the Guatemalan oligarchy.  Although it reads like a novela rosa, this text has historical value in that gives us such a perspective in bound print.

I will have to think of and investigate more examples.
