About this book
Reviews
“Bolívar’s Afterlife in the Americas offers a rewarding and erudite overview of the political narratives that have framed politics in the region since liberation. It also serves as a warning: Read historical biographies with care.” (Oliver Balch, Americas Quarterly, January 13, 2020)
