The caudlillo of Spanish America was both regional chieftain and,
in the turbulent years of the early nineteenth century, national
leader. His power base rested on ownership of land and control of
armed bands. He was the rival of constitutional rulers and the
precursor of modern dictators. His is a dominant figure in Latin
American history. In this book John Lynch explores the changing
character of the caudillo--bandit chief, guerrilla leader,
republican hero--and examines his multi-faceted role as regional
strongman war leader, landowner, distributor of patronage, and the
'necessary gendarme' who maintained social order. Professor Lynch
traces the origins and development of the caudillo tradition, and
sets it in its contemporary context. His scholarly analysis of this
central theme in the history of Spanish America is underpinned by
detailed case-studies of four major caudillos: Juan Manuel de Rosas
(Argentina), Jose Antonio Paez (Venezuela), Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna (Mexico), and Rafael Carrera (Guatemala). This is an important
contribution to our understanding of political and social
structures during the formative period of the nation-state in
Spanish America.
