Opis

Rethinks the temporal, spatial, and conceptual boundaries that conventionally structure historical narratives about the Age of Revolution in Latin America.

Recenzje

'Echeverri offers a fine work of social and political analysis, informed by close and detailed knowledge of the regions and groups studied, and framed by a strong grasp of the wider historical literature on subaltern politics under Spanish rule. Her book opens a new window onto popular politics in Spanish America during the wars of independence, and provides a 'state of the art' entry into the burgeoning recent scholarship on the Spanish legal system, the formation of identities within the Spanish monarchy, and the role of race and ethnicity in shaping the wars of independence and the republics that emerged from them.' Anthony McFarlane, The English Historical Review
