QR code
"La América, Tomo I" by José Victorino Lastarria is a political and social treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work focuses on the relationship and misunderstandings between Europe and Latin America, exploring issues of governance, culture, and social progress. Lastarria argues passionately for a recognition of the complexities and validity of Latin American societies while critiquing European perceptions and interventions. The opening of the work presents Lastarria's contention that Europe holds
a prejudiced and narrow view of Latin America, dismissing its political and social advancements. He emphasizes the tendency of European powers to underestimate the Americas, viewing them only as sources of economic benefit, while ignoring the rich cultures and democratic progress within these nations. Lastarria's arguments are rooted in defending the dignity and potential of Latin American republics, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the political philosophies that shape his thesis throughout the text.
