It delves into the enduring and transformative impact of colonial legacies, which emerged as pivotal political concerns following independence. These legacies include authoritarian governance, a rigid social hierarchy based on race, color, and gender, the influential Roman Catholic Church, economic dependency, and the extensive landed estate. Liberals have aimed to modify or eliminate these legacies in pursuit of progress, while conservatives have sought to preserve them as bastions of their power and privilege. By examining the evolution of these colonial legacies over two centuries, the book sheds light on the processes that shaped the political systems, economies, societies, and religious institutions that define Latin America today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 531g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 230 x 152 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538166222\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Second Edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas C.
