"The Coup under the Palm Trees interrogates the Honduran present, through an exploration of the country's spatiotemporal trajectory of agrarian change since the mid-20th Century. It tells the double history of how the Aguán region went from a set of "empty" lands to the centerpiece of the country's agrarian reform in the 1980s and a central site for the palm oil industry and drug trade; while militarized process of state formation between the military coups of 1963 and 2009 took place. Rather than a case of "failed democratic transition", the book shows how the current Honduran crisis, exemplified by massive outmigration towards the US, blatant narco-state links and the 2009 coup, is better understood within longer historical processes in which violence, exclusion and dispossession became the central organizational principles of the state." |
