Book Description
"This paper is an attempt to analyze the cultural evolution of a semi-isolated rural hamlet in Costa Rica. In this analysis, I am looking primarily for the causes of the changes that are or are not presently occurring in the geographical area that I studied. Therefore, I will first give a brief history of the area as I understand it, then explain Santa Rosa's present role in the area and show how its historical development brought this about, then give a description of the elements in the society of Santa Rosa itself and of everything that affects it that would potentially cause its culture to either change or not change in the future, and finally describe the changes that these elements are presently causing"--Page 1.

Book Description
The authors trace the evolution of Costa Rican culture and institutions from pre-Columbian times through the late 1990s. Particularly concerned with the change wrought by the economic crisis of the 1980s, they base their portrayal on interviews with Costa Ricans; observations of many facets--from coffee plantation work to the deliberations of the Legislature; and readings of journalists, essayists, poets, historians, and others.
