  Rafael Carrera (1814-1865) ruled Guatemala from about 1839 until his death. This biography explains the political, social, economic, and cultural circumstances that preceded and then facilitated Carrera's ascendancy and shows how Carrera in turn fomented changes that persisted long after his death and far beyond the borders of Guatemala.
