Week 5: Caudillos vs the Nation State

For this week’s blogpost, I’m going to write based on the questions posed in the lecture. These were the three questions: Why was post-independence Latin America such fertile ground for caudillos? Why were caudillos especially popular among the poor and powerless? Does even Echeverría show them some grudging respect? At this point in the 19thContinue reading “Week 5: Caudillos vs the Nation State”

Week Five: Caudillos Versus the Nation State
