Description
Contentious Republicans explores the rise of mass electoral democracy in mid-nineteenth-century Colombia, challenging common assumptions about the country's political history.
The book examines how competing subaltern groups - Afro-Colombians, Indians, and white peasant migrants - created a vibrant republican culture through legal rights and popular participation. These groups forged alliances with elite Liberal and Conservative Parties, forming their own political discourses and reframing republicanism to suit their needs.
Through the lens of these three social and racial groups, James E. Sanders sheds light on the complex dynamics of nineteenth-century politics in Colombia, highlighting the ways in which popular engagement shaped the country's legacy of participatory politics.
