Carlos A. Forment's aim in this highly ambitious work is to write
the book that Tocqueville would have written had he traveled to
Latin America instead of the United States. Forment pores over
countless newspapers, partisan pamphlets, tabloids, journals,
private letters, and travelogues to show in this study how citizens
of Latin America established strong democratic traditions in their
countries through the practice of democracy in their everyday
lives. This first volume of Democracy in Latin America considers
the development of democratic life in Mexico and Peru from
independence to the late 1890s. Forment traces the emergence of
hundreds of political, economic, and civic associations run by
citizens in both nations and shows how these organizations became
models of and for democracy in the face of dictatorship and immense
economic hardship. His is the first book to show the presence in
Latin America of civic democracy, something that gave men and women
in that region an alternative to market-and state-centered forms of
life.
