Week 6- Citizenship and Rights

To recap the conclusions of last week’s readings, the Caudillo was the best governing system for post-colonial Latin America. This system kept the rich where they wanted to be, at the top with the ability to control laws and to decide if they would like to impose them.  The poor and marginalized inherit the new […]

Week 5- Caudillo and the National Guard

Last week we discussed how important political representation.  This reminded me of why it is so important to vote and use your voice to elect the representation you want. When you don’t vote you don’t have the opportunity to be represented when decisions are being made that will directly affect your way of living.

Week 5: Caudillos Versus the Nation State

  After watching the lecture and reading “Caudillos Versus the Nation State”, I could see some of the appeal behind a caudillismo system. The Caudillos could appeal to the marginalized, as it is claimed that Guatemalan caudillo Rafael Carrera did when he restrained the state and vouched for the peasant’s rural autonomy. With the power vacuum […]

Week 5: Caudillos Versus the Nation State

The thought of a Caudillo, a village strongman, invokes a distinctly Latin American story. A legendary character, straight from Macondo. The typical macho man at the head of the table. And from what I understood through the lecture and readings, this image is not so far from the truth. Like the head of a largeContinue reading “Week 5: Caudillos Versus the Nation State”

Week 8 – El Plan de Ayala

There are many examples around the world of formal decolonization (a.k.a. flag independence). Among the incredible violence that comes before this event, the creation of a formal nation’s borders by colonial powers has led to bloodshed and upheaval. Throughout this … Continue reading →
