Book Description
"The British government, while upholding the right of the settlers to live and work there, never challenged the sovereignty of Spain over the territory, and indeed recognised it in two eighteenth century treaties. But they refused to accept later Guatemalan and Mexican claims to inheritance of Spanish sovereignty. The consequences of the former dispute live on today." "This book traces the outline of this complex story in as objective a way as possible, allowing the facts recorded in files in London and Belize to speak for themselves."--Cover.

This unique anthology utilizes the predominant themes of western literature to chronicle the prose and poetry of Belize.

It provides a greater understanding of the culture, history, and people of this small but linguistically diverse country in the heart of Central America.
