  • Ensayos de historia política de Colombia, siglos XIX y XX

    Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2008

    David Bushnell’s long-established mastery of Colombian history is once again displayed in these essays, which deal with topics from the independence period to the 1930s and 1940s. Several of the essays are relatively slight pieces. The first compares the tendency of Colombian scholars since 1945 to glorify Simón Bolívar as a social democrat (for example, Indalecio Liévano Aguirre, Hermes Tovar Pinzón) with the darker tints applied to Francisco de…

  • Science and the Creative Imagination in Latin America

    Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2006

    In 1959, C. P. Snow, in his famous lecture on “The Two Cultures,” lamented the gulf between the culture of scientists and that of “literary intellectuals” and also characterized the latter as being ignorant of the natural sciences. This lecture provoked heated denunciations from some leading litterateurs, but subsequent generations of literary folk have sought to prove that the world of letters in various ways has absorbed, made use of, or been t…

  • Studies in the Formation of the Nation-State in Latin America

    Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2004

    This volume originated at a conference at the Institute of Latin American Studies of the University of London in June 1999. It is a variegated bouquet of essays; the authors have chosen diverse themes relating to the development of the nation-state and have approached their tasks in dissimilar ways. Most of the essays focus on the nineteenth century, although some extend into the twentieth. The first essay, by Florencia Mallon, provides a useful …

  • Los años del cambio: Historia urbana de Bogotá: 1820-1910

    Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2002

    In Los años del cambio, Germán Mejía provides a study of structural, demographic, and social change in Colombia’s capital city during the nineteenth century, based substantially on foreign travelers’ accounts, city almanacs, census data, and local government reports. He argues that, while Bogotá changed little in physical appearance during the nineteenth century, important qualitative changes occurred, particularly in the second half of the centu…

  • The Politics of Clientelism: Democracy and the State in Colombia

    Frank Safford, John D MartzREVIEWHispanic American Historical Review1998

    In Latin America the state is the prime regulator, coordinator, and pace-setter of the entire national system, the apex of the pyramid from which patronage, wealth, power, and programs flow. The state bears responsibility for the realization of civic needs, providing goods and services to each citizen. Doing so requires the exercise and maintenance of social and political control. It is John Martz's contention that clientelism underlines the fund…

    Open AccessFrank SaffordARTICLEJournal of Latin American Studies1992Cited by: 13References: 11

    The persistent instability and disorder of Spanish American polities in the post-Independence period was undoubtedly one of the most perplexing concerns of Spanish American elites in the nineteenth century. It has remained a subject of interpretive debate by twentieth-century students of the area. The following article sketches several general approaches to the problem among twentieth-century interpreters, compares contemporary nineteenth-century…

  • Race, Integration, and Progress: Elite Attitudes and the Indian in Colombia, 1750-1870

    Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1991Cited by: 24

    I N the nineteenth century, elites in various Spanish American countries sought to create integrated nations by incorporating Indian populations into the general body of the citizenry, economically, socially, and politically. Through much of the colonial period, the Spanish crown had tried, with only partial success, to maintain a policy of separation between the Amerindian population (la repilblica de indios) and the dominant Hispanic culture (l…

    Jaime Jaramillo Uribe, Frank SaffordARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review1984Cited by: 1

    HE following disquisition by Jaime Jaramillo Uribe really needs no introduction. Nothing can be said here that he has not already said more eloquently. This introduction serves only to underline some points that in any case will be obvious. Before the years in which Jaramillo became active, Colombian history was largely the property of upper-class amateurs and of traditional elements of the middle class oriented to survival by government patronag…
