Abstract

The present work traces the idea of nation in the Guatemalan political press, through the pages of the propaganda organ of the Guatemalan unionist party called El Unionista, from its creation until the fall of Estrada Cabrera (December 1919-April 1920). Considered as his antecedent and inspiring to El Amigo de la Patria, by José C. del Valle, and establishes with it a series of analogies around the idea of the Central American Great Homeland, as an inclusive nation model of traditionally marginalized sectors in national construction . It also gives an account of the difficulties of the press in the last moments of the cabrerista dictatorship in Guatemala.
