  Connecting the political changes of the Bourbon Reforms (1759-1788) and constitutional monarchy (1808-1821) to those of the independence era (1821-1839), this book shows the nation-state formation to be a city-driven process that transformed colonial provinces into enduring states with basic governments and articulated national identities.
