This book offers an innovative, thematic approach to the history of
Latin America since independence. It traces continuity and change
in colonial legacies that became central political issues following
independence: authoritarian governance; a rigid social hierarchy
based on race, color, and gender; the powerful Roman Catholic
Church; economic dependency; and the large landed estate.
Generally, liberals have sought to modify or abolish these legacies
in the interest of what they consider progress, while conservatives
have attempted to preserve them as much as possible as bastions of
their power and privilege. Examining the evolution of these
colonial legacies across two centuries reveals the processes that
formed the political systems, economies, societies, and religious
institutions that characterize Latin America today.
