Perspectives on Colonization

The four texts presented in this volume are fundamental to understanding the stimulating dispute between defenders and detractors of the viceregal world that occurred between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This dispute culminated in the dismantling of liberal and republican interest in the culture of the Colony. It was during these years that the idea, still dominant today in more conservative historiography, took shape: that Chile never truly had a colonial culture or Baroque art that, from its peripheral position, could confront the originality of models produced in European and Latin American art centers.
