Nevertheless, their influence, particularly in the case of France, as palpable. The revolutions of 1848 renewed and extended democratic vocabulary and republican symbolism from Canada to Chile. This collection looks at the catalytic effect of Europe's 'springtime of the peoples' in the Americas, prompting the disenfranchised to demand representative institutions and to conceive of themselves as sovereign people, and giving rise to radical and progressive liberal parties - the Free Soil Movement\/Free Democrats in the United States, the Reform Liberals in Mexico, the 'progresista' liberal parties in Colombia and Peru, the 'Society of Equality' and the Radical Party in Chile - that challenged the political groupings that had served since Independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Thomson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1900039435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781900039437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Latin American Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Guy Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448014188799,"sku":"9781900039437","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a90a0e7e-4fce-4d8a-8525-25bd2d73a1e9.jpg?v=1777236317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-european-revolutions-of-1848-guy-thomson-9781900039437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
