The Many Faces of El Supremo: Historians, History, and Dr. Francia
Dr. José Gaspar de Francia, the first great dictator of Paraguay (1814–1840), has been an object of interest since the early 1800s. In an effort to preserve the independence of his nation, he isolated Paraguay politically from the outside world. Internally, he crushed the power of the Spanish merchant class, brought the old colonial elite to obedience, and subordinated the Church to his will. The state directed both the internal economy and the l…
Latin America’s Wars. Vol. 1, The Age of the Caudillo, 1791–1899
During the nineteenth century, Latin America witnessed a dreadful level of international and internal conflict. In many regions, the continual loss of life and destruction of property created great obstacles to peaceful economic development and an ordered political system. The nature of war during this period gave rise to the Latin American caudillo—the military leader who employed violence as a means of securing his own political and economic po…
El espacio interior de América del Sur: Geografía, historia, política, cultura
In 1996 the ADLAF (German Association of Research on Latin America) hosted an interdisciplinary conference concerning the interior of South America—Paraguay, Bolivia, and adjoining areas of Argentina and Brazil. Some 25 scholars— mainly German, but with other European, Argentine, and Paraguayan contributors—presented papers on the history, politics, regional economic integration, ecology, and identities of the peoples of this vast area. The prepo…

Dubious Loyalty: The Paraguayan Struggle for the Parana Frontier, 1767-1777
For nearly three centuries, the vecinos of colonial Paraguay defended Spanish interests in the Upper Plata. Turbulent as they were, protesting with violent regularity against unpopular governors and official policies, these “ hijos del país ” have traditionally been portrayed as the bedrock from which the Paraguayan people and identity sprang. Offspring of the Spanish conquerors of the 1500s and their guaraní consorts, the “ mancebos de la tierra…

Land Without Evil: Utopian Journeys Across the South American Watershed
All too often, travel writers plunge into seemingly obscure parts of the globe with little knowledge of where they are, whom they are among, or what has happened there in the past. In this trend-breaking anti travel book, Richard Gott describes his own journey through the heart of South America, across the swampland that forms the watershed between the River Plate and the River Amazon. But the story of his expedition takes second place to a brill…

Oceanic Commerce and Platine Merchants, 1796-1806: The Challenge of War
The creation of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1776 by Charles III of Spain and his Edict of Free Commerce two years later brought unprecedented commercial prosperity to the port cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Unlimited trade was now allowed between this region of South America and Spain. Exports—mainly silver from Alto Perú and pastoral products from the pampas—flowed in ever greater volume to the Iberian Peninsula. In return,…

The Destruction of the Religious Orders in Paraguay, 1810-1824
For three centuries the Church in colonial Spanish America was the primary cultural institution affecting the lives of all Spain's overseas subjects. Education, charity, art, architecture, all the humane arts had been the legacy of the Church as well as its greatest gift to the New World, the Christianization of the Indians. In all these pursuits the Church was ably and dutifully supported by the Crown. Concurrently, clerics of all ranks and occu…
Neutral Vessels and Platine Slavers: Building a Viceregal Merchant Marine
Creation of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in 1776 and the subsequent Edict of Free Commerce in 1778 fostered a flourishing export trade from that region, mainly of hides and silver. Merchants of Buenos Aires and Montevideo, both criollos and recently arrived peninsulares, prospered during the 1780s and early 1790s, an era of international peace. While a few of these merchants owned and operated ships out of the Río de la Plata, most were…
Repression to Reform: Education in the Republic of Paraguay, 1811-1850
THE INDEPENDENCE OF Spanish America presented new problems to the republics created out of the wreckage of Spain's American Empire. Economic restructuring, political organization, relations with neighbors and Europe, and the rise of new political groups all occupied the attention of young governments. One of the many social questions that had to be faced was that of education. Was it to be elitist and traditional as in the colonial era? Would the…
Foreigners in the Intendencia of Paraguay
The Spanish American Empire in its last half century of existence experienced an economic resurgence in oceanic shipping and inter-change with Europe. That prosperity, prompted by the reforms of the enlightened Bourbon monarch, Charles III, produced an unexpected result. Non-Spanish immigrants appeared in ever increasing numbers in Spain's American colonies. That immigration, almost always illegal, had always occurred in the colonial era in spite…

Paraguayan Independence and Doctor Francia
One of the consequences of the Buenos Aires revolution in May of 1810 was the eventual independence of Paraguay and the rise to power of Doctor José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. But before analysing the events of the Independence Movement in the isolated province of Paraguay it is necessary to consider both the conditions in that region in the last decade of colonial rule and the activities of Doctor Francia in the same period

Paraguayan History: Manuscript Sources in the United States
Interest in Paraguay has increased greatly in the United States over the last twenty years. For a long time, the only serious North American specialist in the history of that ignored nation was Harris Gaylord Warren. In recent years, however, the dean of North American Paraguayanists has been joined by an enthusiastic group of historians who have focused on such topics as the Comunero Revolt, the Intendencia and Independence eras, the Francia and…
