The countries of Latin America have suffered through numerous
foreign interventions and domestic wars in the nearly two centuries
that have followed its independence. These conflicts have also
given rise to mass mobilizations of middle-class professionals,
women, peasants, urban workers, and Indians, who sought to carve
out a more active public role in the new states that emerged from
these struggles. In some cases, elites and their military allies
violently repressed the newly emerging forces. Recent research has
begun to place greater emphasis on the lives of common people and
the interventions they had on the larger events of the day. Eight
chapters written by different scholars show the the importance of
the actions of civilians in wars in Latin America. Chapters
describing civilians' roles and lives through wars in Latin America
are supplemented by recommended print and online resources for
further study, a glossary defining important terms and concepts,
and a timeline putting events into a chronological context.
