The overthrow of Viceroy Joaqu&ín de la Pezuela on 29 January 1821 has not received much attention from historians, who have viewed it as a simple military uprising. Yet in this careful study of the episode, based on deep archival research, Patricia Marks reveals it to be the culmination of decades of Peruvian opposition to the Bourbon reforms of the late eighteenth century, especially the Reglamento de comercio libre of 1778. It also marked a radical change in political culture brought about by the constitutional upheavals that followed Napolean's invasion of Spain. Although Pezuela's overthrow was organized and carried out by royalists among the merchants and the military, it proved to be an important event in the development of the independence movement as well as a pivotal factor in the failure to establish a stable national state in post-independence Peru. The golpe de estado may thereby be seen as an early manifestation of Latin American praetorianism, in which a sector of the civilian population, unable to prevail politically and unwilling to compromise, pressures army officers to act in order to &"save&" the state.
Bringing much-needed historical perspectives to debates about an idiosyncratic period in modern Latin American history, scholars from the United States and Peru reassess the meaning and legacy of Peru's left-leaning military dictatorship.

El Perú de la segunda mitad del siglo XX es el horizonte en el que se desenvuelven cuarenta años de la vida de Don Ignacio -monseñor Ignacio María de Orbegozo y Goicoechea- al servicio de Dios, de la Iglesia y de las almas. El relato de su personalidad carismática ha trascendido dentro de la Iglesia por ser un adelantado de la segunda evangelización, haciendo un puente de siglos con la primera, realizada por santo Toribio de Mogrovejo. El itinerario de Don Ignacio es inédito, por ser la aventura de un médico cirujano español -vasco, para más señas- que, por las cordilleras andinas y por los valles costeños del Perú, cuando todavía no había las comodidades que hoy existen, se c...
