Length

[edit]

This article is ridiculously short. History of Nicaragua, a neighboring country, is more than 6 times larger than this! Someone with more knowledge than myself, please remedy this. It is pathetic.--TM 21:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed Statement

[edit]

The last paragraph of the Spanish Colonization section does not have a reliable source to back-up its dubious claims. It states the following: "An egalitarian tradition also arose. Costa Rica became a "rural democracy" with no oppressed mestizo or indigenous class. It was not long before Spanish settlers turned to the hills, where they found rich volcanic soil and a milder climate than that of the lowlands.[7]" Reference 7 is a touristic information website, which does not mention anything about this supposed egalitarian tradition and "rural democracy". There is plenty of historical evidence, such as church records and censuses, pointing that Costa Rican society during the Spanish Colonization had a caste system (after all, it was as part of the Spanish Empire), in which Spaniards and their non-mixed descendants had a higher social status, and effectively oppressed people from other castas. Slavery and encomiendas were part of Colonial Costa Rica's non-egalitarian everyday life. For example, there were neighborhoods in Colonial Cartago that were designated exclusively for pardos. In his column Raíces, Costa Rican genealogist Mauricio Meléndez Obando gives a brief explanation of slavery and miscegenation in Costa Rica (citing primary sources): Columna Raíces: La esclavitud (in Spanish) Columna Raíces: Mestizaje (in Spanish) — Preceding --Duxpetrus (talk) 19:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC) Duxpetrus[reply]
