Change And Continuity In Paraguayan History - 1811, 1911, 2011, Robert Andrew Nickson
Robert Andrew Nickson
This concluding chapter of a book to celebrate the bicentenary of Paraguay in 2011 briefly traces the dramatic changes to the country - in territorial dimension, demography, landscape and social indicators - over the 200 years since independence in 1811. In contrast, it then highlights the continuity of dependence on primary production for insertion in the global economy as well as the cultural resilience of the GuaranĂ language as the key marker of national identity.
