Introduction to Latin American Literature Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Question 1: Who is Sim n Bol var? Along with Fidel Castro and "Che" Guevara, Sim n Bol var is the most widely known political leader from Latin America. Like Castro & Guevara, Bol var is a revolutionary hero. A "creole elite" (as is Castro) he fought and overthrew the Spanish monarchy in South America in the 19th Century. (Castro fought and overthrew the Batista dictatorship in 1959). Bol var's victories over the Spanish Crown gave independence to the modern-day countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia (which bears his name). Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Question 1: Who is Sim n Bol var? Sim n Bol var formed part of a very intense period of world history, particularly regarding Europe and the Americas. He was one of the agents that "shattered the world order" of the day. Check out what was going on in the world during his lifetime: Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Timeline of key world events & people: 1776: American Revolution. George Washington et al. create modern-day USA. 1776: Spanish create the Viceroyality of R o de la Plata (Argentina). 1780-83: Tupac Amaru II's rebellion in modern-day Peru and Ecuador. 1789-99: French Revolution and Napoleon. 1791: Haitian Slave Revolution and Toussaint L'Ouverture. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Timeline of key world events & people: 1799: Napoleonic Wars in Europe begin. 1804: Haitians defeat French, gain independence. 1807-8: Napoleon invades Spain & Portugal: Portuguese Monarchy escapes to Brazil; Joseph Bonaparte is named King of Spain. 1810: Sim n Bol var creates major rebellions in Venezuela, New Granada (Colombia/Ecuador). Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Timeline of key world events & people: 1810: Padre (Priest) Miguel Hidalgo begins revolt in Mexico; he is executed in 1811. 1813: Padre Jos Morelos, one of Hidalgo's officers in the revolt, leads Mexico's independence movement; he is executed too in 1815. 1814: Spanish regain the Monarchy from the French. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Timeline of key world events & people: 1816: Argentina declares independence from Spain (Jos de San Mart n leads movement). 1817: Chile declares independence from Spain (Bernardo O'Higgins leads movement). 1818: U.S. conquers Spanish territory of Florida. 1821: Mexico declares independence from Spain. Central America follows. 1822: Brazil declares independence from Portugal (Dom Pedro I, son of the King, leads movement.) 1823: Monroe Doctrine declared in the U.S. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Personal timeline of Sim n Bol var 1819: Bol var became the first president of Colombia. 1822: Bol var became dictator of Peru. 1824: Bol var and San Mart n defeat the Spanish in the Battle of Ayacucho, effectively ending all Spanish rule in South America. 1825: The country of Bolivia is created, in his honor. His birthday, July 24, is celebrated as a national holiday in Venezuela (where he was born) and in Bolivia. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Question 2: What about his writings? Bol var wrote several essays, speeches, and letters that are widely read and studied to this day. In his writings, his analyses of Latin America's political & economic problems, not to mention his proposals for a regionwide integration of "Spanish America," are as relevant today as they were then. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Question 2: What about his writings? Virtually all the Latin American problems addressed by Bol var in the early 19th Century remain largely unresolved today: fragility of democracy, racial/social unrest & inequality, land distribution, education, and regional integration. Venezuelan President Hugo Ch vez's 21st Century "Bolivarian Revolution" -- a block of Latin American socialist nations -- is inspired by the writings of Sim n Bol var. This revolution is meant to face and solve these unresolved problems. Question 3: What about Bol var's "legacy"? Today, Venezuelan President Hugo Ch vez has called for a 21st Century "Bolivarian Revolution" in Latin America. That is, a proposal to form a united block of Latin American nations committed to "21st Century socialism" in order to challenge the unpopular (some would argue "failed") "neoliberal" economic policies of the U.S. The rhetoric is inspired by the writings of Sim n Bol var; the revolution is meant to resolve the unresolved problems. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" "A glance at Spanish America" (1829) Leamos un poco del ensayo... Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" "A glance at Spanish America" (1829) Relevant quotes: Pg. 96: "Blood, death, and every crime...Every election is plagued..." What is Bol var saying? Pg. 97: "What we have just related is not peculiar to this country; its history is the history of Spanish America." What is Bol var saying? Pg. 101-2: "In America there is no good faith..." What are his final thoughts? Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Final considerations After Bol var, we see the emergence of "New Nations" in Latin America; Bol var uses the term "Spanish America" to refer to the former Spanish colonies in the Americas, which he understood had historical ties though many were miles apart. From the ashes of revolution that Bol var describes were born people calling themselves "Mexicans," "Argentineans," "Chileans," "Colombians," "Brazilians," etc., and no longer "Cristianos," "Criollos," "Indios," or "Negros" -- though these former colonial terms are used even to this day. Sim n Bol var (1783-1830) "El Libertador" Final considerations The people of these New Nations sought to define themselves in their ways. Like other areas of culture and the arts, their literature sought to define their "region" of the world. The literary idea of "regionalism" began to shape the different literary voices although much influence, of course, came from European and U.S. writers (Edgar Allen Poe, in particular, who was widely read in French translation, was a huge inspiration for the Latin American short story).
