| Summary | "Guatemala and Her People of To-day" by Nevin O. Winter is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the geography, history, and culture of Guatemala, as well as its surrounding regions, such as British Honduras and the Republic of Honduras. The author explores the Latin American identity, discussing the pride of the Guatemalan people and their journey toward self-governance amidst political challenges, thus offering readers insights into the socio-political environment of the time. The opening of the book sets the stage by highlighting the misconceptions about Central America, particularly Guatemala's cultural and geographical significance. Winter emphasizes the harsh realities faced by the Guatemalan people while correcting the popular narratives surrounding their political endeavors. He describes the diverse landscapes of Guatemala, including its mountains, lakes, and tropical environment, also mentioning the socioeconomic issues stemming from its history of colonization and contemporary struggles for self-governance.
