By the 1820s, the former Spanish territories of Latin America had gained independence after three centuries of imperial rule, embarking on a significant political experiment in republicanism. This book offers a comprehensive history of nineteenth-century republicanism across the region, placing the Spanish American experience within a broader global context. It challenges the notion of Latin America as a case of failed modernization, illustrating how republican experiments varied yet were rooted in the radical concept of popular sovereignty—the belief that legitimate authority resides with the people. The transition from colonies to independent states was complex and fraught with conflict, but the republican order in Spanish America proved resilient, transcending borders and diverse cultures. The author shifts the narrative from rulers and elites to the role of ordinary citizens, highlighting the emergence of new institutions and practices that fostered a vibrant and inclusive political life. This panoramic analysis situates these nascent republics within a transatlantic transformation of governance, positioning Latin America at the heart of a revolutionary era that redefined ideas of citizenship.
