El despertar de las periferias : movimientos reformistas y revolucionarios en América Latina y Medio Oriente a comienzos del siglo XX

Abstract

Study of the state of affairs in Latin America and the Middle East at the beginning of the 20th century; these regions, different in their political, economic and social situations in the 19th century, were similar in that they experienced the same scenario: the implementation of the imperial system, managed by the great colonizing powers, and capitalism’s dissemination with the wide spread of European companies and governments in peripheral areas of the world system. Driven by the notions of national sovereignty, constitutionalism, antiimperialism and socialism, new reformist and revolutionary movements were launched throughout the 20th century, and filled Latin America’s and Middle Eastern history with new twists.
