Description
Armed Citizens and Citizens in Arms provides a comprehensive historical analysis of Peru’s state-building process during the nineteenth century, focusing on the vital intersection between military service and the development of citizenship. Natalia Sobrevilla Perea explores how armed mobilization shaped political identity and state institutions in post-independence Peru.
The book examines the complex relationships between civilian populations and military forces during a period marked by significant political instability and civil conflict. Sobrevilla Perea demonstrates how military participation became a defining feature of Peruvian citizenship and how armed citizens contributed to the nation’s institutional development.
Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Cambridge Latin American Studies series, this work offers valuable insights into the broader processes of nation-building in Latin America and the unique circumstances that defined Peru’s early republican period.
