The independence movements of Spanish America in the early
nineteenth century constitute one of the main junctures in Latin
American history. Not only did they put an end to Spanish
colonialism in mainland America, they created the modern countries
stretching from Mexico in the north to Chile and Argentina in the
south. Spanish American Independence Movements sheds light on the
complicated period from 1780-81, when Peru was rocked by Tupac
Amaru's revolt, through 1826, when independence fighters defeated
the last Spanish forces in mainland America. Author Wim Klooster
offers a rich and wide-ranging introduction to the period and
provides primary documents-most appearing in English for the first
time-that reveal not just the arguments and struggles of the rebels
but also of those who remained loyal to Spain.
