Redemptions
First published in 1918, this is the first English translation, and one of the few Central American novels available in English. Set in and around San José during the first years of the twentieth century, when the influence of the United States-economic, political, military, and cultural-was intensifying rapidly, "Redemptions" tells the story of the seduction and betrayal of a young Costa Rican woman (and symbolically of her country and region) by a North American entrepreneur. In the same genre as novels and essays by Uruguayan José Enrique Rodó and Mexican José Vasconcellos, "Redemptions" is a work of cultural nationalism which urges Costa Ricans to value their autonomy, to resist the encroachment of outside forces led by the ubiquitous, for the region, "Uncle Sam," and to recognize and solve their own problems. Originally published in 1985, it appears now in a second printing trade paperback from the original publisher San Diego State University Press with the original translation and introduction by E. Bradford Burns, and a new afterword by the Costa Rican contemporary novelist and literature professor Daniel Quirós.

This juncture also set the conditions for the creation of the Transisthmus—a material, cultural, and symbolic site of vast intersections of people, products, and narratives. Taking 1899 as her point of departure, Ana Patricia Rodríguez offers a comprehensi...
