First published: 1996
Description: "Extended essay based on secondary sources sees slavery as the social and political matriz for 19th-century formation of the nation. Dismissing popular nostalgia for 'empire as time of greatness,' author argues that this epoch was an elite creation resulting in an exclusionary 'nation without people' that set antidemocratic social and cultural patterns that persist today"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
