Crybaby Candidates and Apaleadores
The cultivation of coffee and the Liberal Reforms of the 1870s instigated a transformation in the social composition of Guatemala City’s urban elite as rural and working-class ladinos rose to economic and political prominence. In response to this social mobility, criollo elites codified the precepts of hombría de bien, or proper manhood, in etiquette guides to distinguish themselves from ladinos, who they argued were characterized by rudeza or br…
The Emasculation of President José María Reyna Barrios
Displays of ostentation were regarded as manly faux pas in nineteenthcentury Guatemala City, a perspective shared by men of different ethnic and class origins, though gender norms were seldom uniformly enforced. When the Guatemalan export economy collapsed and a social crisis ensued in 1897, critics of the government blamed the excess and luxury of President José María Reyna Barrios for the economic turmoil. They argued that the president lacked …
Consumer Culture in Guatemala City during the 'Season of Luis Mazzantini', 1905
In 1905, world-renowned bullfighter Luis Mazzantini arrived in Guatemala City for a number of corridas. Despite the excitement of the urban elite, the matador's fights were poorly attended by the working class due to high ticket prices. This article uses the 'Mazzantini Season' as a case study of working-class consumer culture in Guatemala City to trace shifts in Guatemalan political economy through the 1890s and early 1900s, analysing the constr…

Phantoms of modernity
Following a spate of anarchist bombings and assassinations in Europe, the gente decente of Guatemala City began to describe local events using the language of anarchism. The 1894 anarchist furor spoke to two tendencies that had shaped Guatemala City since the 1870s. The first was the cosmopolitan desire of the gente decente . Facilitated by cosmopolitan bridge figures, trends and fashions from Europe and especially Paris shaped the cultural lexic…
A Terrible Necessity
This article analyzes the writings on India of The Economist newspaper from 1843 to the 1860s. It argues that despite the adherence of the paper to the ideas of laissez-faire nineteenth-century liberal ideas of political economy, its writing on India - and the political career of its founder and editor, James Wilson - demonstrate a ready embrace of empire, government intervention in the economy, and increased taxation. The article suggests this d…
Mid-twentieth-century Guatemalan modernism and the anesthetic of progress
This article uses Guatemala City’s Centro Cívico as a point of departure to consider the wider implications of shared Western epistemological assumptions during the Cold War. It argues that an “esthetic of progress”, based on notions of economic development as well as teleological beliefs about historical change, became a dominant artistic motif in mid-twentieth-century Guatemalan modernism, emblematic of the artists belonging to the Generation o…
