Omschrijving:The article analyzes the representation of Central American culture in the story Viaje a Centroamérica (1863), by the German Wilhelm Marr. The text addresses the culture, customs and traditions of Nicaragua and CostaRica during the nineteenth century, all of which reflect not only the cultural conditions of both countries, but also a way of interpreting culture and civilization in which Europe adopts a position of superiority and privilege over other countries. This implies a colonialist, utilitarian and racist vision in the narrative.
