Bringing War Back In: Victory, Defeat, and the State in Nineteenth-Century Latin America
Armed Citizens and Citizens in Arms: The Military and the Creation of the State of Peru, 1800‒1860
In this book, Natalia Sobrevilla Perea reconstructs the history of the armed forces in nineteenth-century Peru and reveals what it meant to be a member. By centering the experiences of individuals, it demonstrates how the armed forces were an institution that created social provision, including social care for surviving family members, pensions for the elderly, and assistance for the infirm. Colonial militias transitioned into professional armies…
El estado de la democracia en América Latina: Problemas, reflexiones y esperanzas en la culminación de las conmemoraciones por el bicentenario de la independencia
The Abolition of Slavery in the South American Republics
This article studies how slavery was finally abolished in the Spanish-speaking republics of South America and how these processes were connected. Although slavery was not as important in these countries as it was in Brazil or Cuba, it remained relevant in certain regions, even after the slave trade was abolished and free-womb laws and state manumission policies were implemented. In Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, slaver…
Nuevas miradas desde el bicentenario
En esta edición de la revista Desde el Sur encontramos una serie de reflexiones sobre el Perú enmarcadas dentro de la conmemoración del bicentenario. Si bien solo una de ellas se enfoca en estudiar de manera directa el periodo de la independencia, y su análisis no se centra en cómo se logró la separación con España ni en las celebraciones realizadas en estos años de pandemia, sí queda claro que todos los trabajos de este número contribuyen a la c…

Las campañas a los puertos intermedios y la fase «peruana» de la independencia
A pesar de que la historiografía peruana ha dejado de lado el estudio de las dos campañas conocidas como campañas a los puertos intermedios, localizados entre el Callao y Valparaíso, dichas campañas constituyen uno de los momentos más importantes de la llamada fase «peruana» de la independencia, aunque ambas incursiones terminaran en derrotas. A pesar de ello, las campañas merecen recibir más atención académica porque fueron las que tuvieron una …

Regular and irregular forces in conflict: Nineteenth century insurgencies in South America
In the decades following independence from Spain, ‘civil wars’ ravaged the newly established polities in South America. Former vice-regal capitals inherited a larger portion of the colonial administration and had larger economic resources and a hegemonic project they were able to have permanent and professional armed forces, capable of leading the offensive and giving battle following the European rules of military art. The central hypothesis of …
Artillery, engineering and mathematics: Statecraft and the scientific knowledge of military men, from the Bourbons to the creation of the Peruvian State (1770-1840)
War and preparation for it have often been drivers of technological development. This article explores the intersection between science and government, and how, in the final decades of the colonial period, engineers trained in military academies in the peninsula played a crucial role in the creation and dissemination of knowledge in Peru. It then focuses on how the scientific knowledge of the military was used during the wars of independence and …

Power of the law or power of the sword: The conflictive relationship between the executive and the legislative in nineteenth-century Peru
The Peruvian parliament was a central institution in the early republic, but so far very little has been written on its history. This is due to the fact that military leaders took control of power for most of the nineteenth century. This article reflects on three main questions: what was the role of the legislative in nineteenth-century Peru? What was its relationship with the executive power? And what part did conflict play in these relationship…
Hallándome viuda sin recursos, sin apoyo y en la más deplorable situación»: El montepío militar y la creación del Estado en el Perú (1800-1880)
El montepío militar se pagó a los deudos de quienes habían servido en el ejército. Creado en el periodo borbónico fue regulado por la legislación española durante todo el siglo diecinueve. Los principales beneficiarios fueron las madres, viudas e hijas de los soldados y oficiales. Este artículo analiza el rol de esta pensión en la consolidación del ejército como una institución central para la creación del Estado en el Perú

The Caudillo of the Andes: Andrés de Santa Cruz
Born in La Paz in 1792, Andrés de Santa Cruz lived through the turbulent times that led to independence across Latin America. He fought to shape the newly established republics, and between 1836 and 1839 he created the Peru-Bolivia Confederation. The epitome of an Andean caudillo, with armed forces at the center of his ideas of governance, he was a state builder whose ambition ensured a strong and well-administered country. But the ultimate failu…
Identity and Subaltern Actors in the Wars of Independence
At this time of bicentenary celebrations, the historiography of the wars ofindependence has gone full circle from first-hand accounts produced by elitesprivileged in the nineteenth century to the current search for the experiences of the subaltern. The grand narratives of the birth of nations written by veteran officers and the 'romantic' generation that followed chose to remember great heroes creating nations. These were at the core of national …
Colored by the Past: Identity and the Armed Forces in Peru, from Colonial Militias to Armies of Independence
One of the most enduring images in Latin American is that of the founders of the nations in their dashing military uniforms, with gold-tasseled epaulets, gold and brass buttons, assorted medals, ribbons and fancy decorations, worn over dark blue or bright red jackets, tight white jodhpurs and shiny black boots. These ‘padres de la patria’ or founding fathers emerged in the context of independence
From Europe to the Andes and back: Becoming ‘Los Ayacuchos’
This article studies the trajectories of the officers defeated at the battle of Ayacucho who upon their return to Spain had prominent political careers. It follows them before, during and after the Wars of Independence in the Andes in an attempt to discern a certain pattern of relationship between Europe and America during the crucial decade of the 1820s, and beyond. It enquires on the far-reaching consequences of prolonged mobilization on both s…
The Enduring Power of Patronage in Peruvian Elections: Quispicanchis, 1860
Political patronage was at the very basis of society's functioning in nineteenth-century Latin America, yet we still know very little about its inner dynamics. Recent analyses of national politics have questioned the idea that Latin American elections were restrictive and fraudulent, or that there was no effective citizenship. These studies have widened the understanding of political participation, and have argued persuasively for the agency of t…

Batallas por la legitimidad: Constitucionalismo y conflicto político en el Perú del siglo XIX (1812-1860)
En este estudio mostramos cómo en el Perú las constituciones fueron utilizadas como armas de batalla desde fines del período colonial hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Veremos cómo la legitimidad de los diferentes gobiernos se basó en las constituciones y se cuestionó por ellas mismas. La representación local, las municipalidades, fue uno de los motivos de lucha en todo el período

Entre el Contrato Gibbs y el Contrato Grace: La participación británica en la economía peruana (1842-1890)
Este artículo analiza la participación británica en la economía peruana y se pregunta hasta qué punto es posible hablar de un 'imperio informal'o de un 'imperialismo comercial'.Los préstamos y el guano definieron la naturaleza cambiante de la relación anglo-peruana. Durante veinte años la Casa Gibbs dominó el comercio del guano, dándole al Perú suficientes ingresos para saldar su deuda y levantar nuevos empréstitos. Entre 1850 y 1870, el Perú log…
Los velos y las pieles: Cuerpo, género y reordenamiento social en el Perú republicano -Lima, 1822-1872. Alicia DEL ÁGuila: Lima: IEP, 2003
El siglo XIX peruano, después de haber sido una suerte de 'hoyo negro' historiográfico, es ahora un período que está siendo examinado desde variadas perspectivas, algunas muy sugerentes. Este trabajo nos aproxima a la historia social de la república o bien, como dice su autora, se trata de un boceto que se concentra en la transición de la colonia a la república a través de los paseos, los salones, las alcobas y los baños, analizando lo que ella l…
