Imported Modernity in Post-colonial State Formation The Appropriation of Political, Educational, and Cultural Models in Nineteenth-century Latin America

The present volume analyses the actual processes by which liberal ideas and modern educational and cultural projects traveled to, and were institutionalized in, the Latin American context during the post-independence period. It comprises a number of essays that pay attention to the process of importing specific ideas to particular contexts, and to the peculiar dynamics of that communication.Roldan Vera, Eugenia is the author of 'Imported Modernity in Post-colonial State Formation The Appropriation of Political, Educational, and Cultural Models in Nineteenth-century Latin America', published 2007 under ISBN 9780820465098 and ISBN 0820465097.
