About this document

Neruda by Alyanna Jovido is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The poem criticizes the United Fruit Company for monopolizing land in Central America to grow bananas, establishing banana republics. It claims the United Fruit Company divided up the region, rechristening territories as banana republics and establishing dictatorships. This allowed flies representing dictators like Trujillo and Martinez to abolish independence and present crowns, attracting tyranny to the lands over ordinary graves.
