Content:
The author examines the relationship between the Honduran banana enclave of the north coast with national history, focusing in particular on the race question. Growing participation of foreign capital and foreign immigrants in this key sector of the Honduran economy had threatened the local elites' domination of the country. Elites and the state tried to reassert their dominance in the ideological sphere disseminating the myth of a homogeneous Honduran mestizo race by excluding immigrant groups as well as indigenous populations. The anti-immigration laws passed in 1929 und 1934 have to be analized in this context. (DÜI-Huj)
