Resumen
SALA DE TOURON, Lucía. Democracia en América Latina: liberales, radicales y artesanos a mediados del siglo XIX. Secuencia [online]. 2005, n.61, pp.62-98. ISSN 2395-8464. https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i61.896.
During the 1840s and 1850s, democracy in Latin America was invoked with new and old meanings. This text analyzes three cases that provide different versions of the era: the discourse of Esteban Echeverría during his exile in Montevideo, and the discourse of the movements that attracted young liberals, journalists, professionals and above all students, as well as artisans at the Sociedad de la Igualdad Chilena and the Colombian Sociedades Democráticas. Radical democracy, Socialist Utopianism and the European revolutions of 1848 wielded a powerful influence over these cases, as happened in most of Latin America. The new social and political movements of the time and at the beginning of the 20th century had a number of new actors. The invocations of democracy at the time and the movements mentioned earlier show, however, that some of the versions that developed most fully during the past century and form part of the present agenda had already been put forward.
