I thought I posted this last week, but it didn't post for some reason...
Some of you have asked about general histories of Central America. I recommend the following:
Lynn Foster's _A Brief History of Central America_: http://www.amazon.com/Brief-History-Central-America-Checkmark/dp/0816073325/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1296693643&sr=8-7
John Boothe's _Understanding Central America_: http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Central-America-Global-Rebellion/dp/0813344212/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296693733&sr=8-1
If you do a search on Amazon for "Central America History" or "Central American History," some other titles come up. I have not read these, but you might look at readers' reviews.
Ana Patricia Rodriguez's _Dividing the Isthmus_ is a good literary history of the region: http://www.amazon.com/Dividing-Isthmus-Transnational-Literatures-ebook/dp/B003QHYKFU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1296693643&sr=8-2
On the revolutions of the 70s and 80s, Walter Lefeber's _Inevitable Revolutions_ has been recommended to me: http://www.amazon.com/Inevitable-Revolutions-United-Central-America/dp/0393309649/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1296693964&sr=8-1
