Simon Bolivar is the preeminent symbol of Latin America and the
subject of seemingly endless posthumous attention. Interpreted and
reinterpreted in biographies, histories, political writings,
speeches, and works of art and fiction, he has been a vehicle for
public discourse for the past two centuries. Robert T. Conn follows
the afterlives of Bolivar across the Americas, tracing his presence
in a range of competing but interlocking national stories. How have
historians, writers, statesmen, filmmakers, and institutions
reworked his life and writings to make cultural and political
claims? How has his legacy been interpreted in the countries whose
territories he liberated, as well as in those where his importance
is symbolic, such as the United States? In answering these
questions, Conn illuminates the history of nation building and
hemispheric globalism in the Americas.
