Title: Ideas de la Federación, 1811-1900
Description: "Useful documentary collection chronicles the evolution of federalism in Venezuela from independence to 1864. In a preliminary study, the author seeks to define authentically Venezuelan roots of federalism, arguing that the ideology evolved in Venezuela as a result of colonial experiences. Also observes tension between philosophical leanings toward federalism and the exigencies of 19th-century politics"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
