| 实物特征: | At the time of emancipation (1821), Costa Rica was a frontier society. It had been the border region of the Spanish colonial dominions in Central America, specifically of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. Upon emancipation, state building creates centrality which in turns develops into center and periphery. The periphery is a frontier in the socio cultural sense (indigenous people are socially separated as inferiors) and in the geographic sense (at the margins of urban areas or in the vast border zones very far from Hispanic towns). Colonial administration gave rise to “reducciones”, that is, it created indigenous mission towns; indigenous settlements differ if they are close to urban centers or if they are next or within borderlands; after 1821 the more independent latter ones and the former ones close to Spanish towns change their frontier status at different rythms. Frontier conditions separate native people from the Spanish descendants and mestizo people, but they also allow for interaction between them. |
