This provides a way to use the region’s history as a springboard for conceiving of mechanisms by which we can together face the challenges presented today to the inhabitants of the cross-border region between Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Latin American history and Social History.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238275076440,"sku":"9781032399058","price":179.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032399058_f346bf45-2798-4ae9-8428-fe4928434de4.jpg?v=1780027249","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/dynamics-and-conflicts-in-a-cross-border-region","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
