Fundamentally. El Salvador is a nation which for more than a century has endured an uneasy and unpeaceful coexistence between a small group of large plantation owners and the mass of the people. Ninetyfour percent of the population of El Salvador is Mestizo. a HispanicIndian ethnic group. made up mostly of landless laborers. tenant farmers and. more recently. urban dwellers and refugees. The bulk of the income in the country has been largely concentrated in the hands of a few families which have made up the El Salvadoran elite since the turn of the country. That income and land distribution pattern has been changing in very recent years.
