This book provides a new interpretation of the process of Spanish
American independence (1808-26); one which emphasises political
processes and cultural continuities, instead of the break with
Spain. It is the first book to examine the representative
government and popular elections introduced by the Spanish
Constitution of 1812. Rodriguez argues that independence did not
constitute an anti-colonial movement, as many scholars assert, but
rather formed part of the broader Spanish political revolution. In
America, a struggle over who would govern accompanied this
revolution. Despite significant participation by the masses, the
struggle for independence resulted in the triumph of the criollos,
the New World bourgeoisie. The liberal tradition of constitutional,
representative government that emerged during this period, together
with the achievement of nationhood, constitutes the most
significant heritage of Spanish American independence.
