Silas Talbot’s life illuminates his time—not with greater
brightness than the lives of his more famous contemporaries, but
with perhaps broader range and greater insight into the experiences
and circumstances of a plain citizen of the new republic—a
citizen whose bravery and energy helped to create it. Silas Talbot
was a farmer’s son who went to sea, learned the building trades,
saved and invested his money wisely, married well several times,
fought as a Rhode Island soldier in the Revolutionary War, became a
lieutenant colonel, served with courage and competence, became a
privateer and a prisoner-of-war in the conflict at sea, speculated
in western lands, was elected to the New York State Legislature and
the U.S. Congress, represented the interests of American sailors
forced to serve in Britain’s navy, and finally achieved the rank
of U.S. Navy captain and became the second commanding officer of
the frigate USS Constitution. In a full and energetic life of
sixty-two years he met and served the famous—Washington, Adams,
Hamilton, Lafayette—and also raised a family; advanced in the
social, political, and business circles of New York and Rhode
Island; and was, as the author notes, “among the first of the new
citizens of the new republic to seize its gifts.”
The chapters in this volume provide a varied yet consistent
analysis of the ways in which ideologies have been used, misused,
or abandoned in Latin America in the twentieth century. The volume
offers scholars and students a challenging collection of
interpretations of and explanations for the ways in which
ideologues and ideologies have played a crucial role in the
political development of the continent. And, while illuminating key
reasons for the rise and fall of specific ideologies and their
repeated betrayal throughout the century--from anarchism to
communism, to socialism, to Peronism, to neoliberalism--the volume
indicates how much there is still left to learn about the
importance of ideological discourse in the mind and polity of Latin
America. With chapters examining Mexico, Chile, Cuba, Paraguay, and
Argentina, this work will be of interest to all Latin
Americanists.
This edited collection explores how different dictators and
authoritarian parties and factions have frequently succeeded in
rising to power in modern Latin America, often retaining political
and/or military control for long periods of time. The volume
examines whether there are common factors within the Latin American
sociopolitical, cultural, and historical context that have allowed
authoritarianism to play such a fundamental and recurrent role in
the continent's development. Including chapters on Mexico, Chile,
Cuba, Paraguay, and Honduras, the work will be of interest to
scholars and students alike in comparative politics, Latin American
history, and Latin American studies.
