Origins of liberal dictatorship in Central America : Guatemala, 1865-1873

Meer over het boek

If Guatemala's revolution of 1871 has been regarded as the transition point from conservatism to liberalism and to modernized institutions as well, Clegern argues that the seeds of liberalism lay in the previous regimes of Rafael Carreras (1840-1865), the most powerful conservative dictatorship in 19th-century Central America, and especially in that of his successor, Vicente Cerna (1865-1871).
