A Transnational History of the Internet in Central America

Abstract

The book A Transnational History of the Internet in Central America, 1985–2000. Networks, Integration, and Development, by Ignacio Siles González, studies the history of the Internet in Central America through the most current trends in transnational history: a very popular historiography that, together with global history, has been attracting financial and human resources for research and publication in the last years. This implies moving away from the classic methodologies that analyzed the Central American region dividing the historical processes country by country, in a nationalist succession of chapters that ultimately lead to dissimilar conclusions between each of these.
