Many historians have dismissed these political experiments as corrupt pantomimes of governments of Western Europe and the United States. Challenging that perspective, James E. Sanders contends that Latin America in this period was a site of genuine political innovation and popular debate reflecting Latin Americans' visions of modernity. Drawing on archival sources in Mexico, Colombia, and Uruguay, Sanders traces the circulation of political discourse and democratic practice among urban elites, rural peasants, European immigrants, slaves, and freed blacks to show how and why ideas of liberty, democracy, and universalism gained widespread purchase across the region, mobilizing political consciousness and solidarity among diverse constituencies. In doing so, Sanders reframes the locus and meaning of political and cultural modernity. 606 $aHistory / Latin America$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / World$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Latin America 615 7$aHistory / World 615 0$aHistory. 676 $a980.03 700 $aSanders$b James E$0151094 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910633941203321 996 $aThe Vanguard of the Atlantic World$92995278 997 $aUNINA
