Civic Religion vs. the Catholic Church and the Ending of a Republican Project Conclusion: A Continental Postcolonial Colombia Challenges the Latin Race Idea Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsAccording to Del Castillo's sharp and provocative analysis, Colombia's oft-cited 'colonial legacy' was actually a nineteenth-century construct, one that has far outlived its early republican creators as an explanatory framework for all that is wrong with modern Latin America. Crafting a Republic for the World will spark scholarly debate by forcing us to rethink this legacy. --Nancy Appelbaum, professor of history at Binghamton University, SUNY --Nancy Appelbaum (09/19/2017) Deeply researched and innovative, Crafting a Republic for the World shows how nineteenth-century Colombians invented the notion of colonial legacies and how this notion was essential to the creation of a new science of republicanism. An inspiring account of how ideas about the past shape politics and policy! --Marixa Lasso, associate professor of history at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia --Marixa Lasso (09/19/2017) Lina del Castillo's work deepens our understanding of nineteenth-century Latin America as part of the vanguard of democracy. --Rebecca Earle, professor of history at the University of Warwick --Rebecca Earle (09/19/2017) This is the rare scholarly work that will make valuable contributions to not just one but three historical fields: the political history of republicanism, the cultural history of nineteenth-century mentalites, and the global history of science. --James E.

Sanders, professor of history at Utah State University -- James E. Sanders This ambitious and invigorating book will incite discussion for years to come. It sets an important precedent for describing nineteenth-century Latin America as a period of immense political, economic, scientific, and even cultural creativity rather than as a period consumed by caudillismo, corruption, and political fragmentation. . . . The book is tremendously successful. -Fidel J. Tavarez, Journal of Interdisciplinary History -- Fidel J.
