The customary division of Latin American history into colonial and
modern periods has come into question recently. This new book
demonstrates that there was a middle period in Latin America's
historical evolution since the European Conquest-one no longer
colonial, but not yet modern-which has left a legacy in its own
right for contemporary Latin America. This volume is a narrative
text on Latin America's "long nineteenth century," from the period
of Imperial Reforms in the late eighteenth century up to the Great
Depression. Incorporating local and regional studies from the last
three decades which have profoundly broadened and altered customary
views about Latin America, the book is a synthesis of this "Middle
Period." Latin America in the Middle Period re-evaluates the
relation between subsistence and market production in the
post-independence economy, stressing regional diversity. It also
re-evaluates the mechanics of politics, which customarily have been
seen as liberal-conservative, caudillo-oligarchy, region-nation,
and merchant-landowner-industrialist. The text discusses the
acceleration of the forces of modernization, the rise of industrial
capitalism, and the beginnings of a national ordering of life in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which eroded the
fabric of Middle Period society, a process consummated in the
aftermath of world depression in the 1930s, ushering in modern
Latin America. This new volume is an excellent resource for courses
in nineteenth-century Latin American history and the second half of
Latin American history survey.
