Recenzii
Workshop of Revolution is an extremely well-researched, path-breaking book, which makes new and substantial contributions to Latin American, working class, and Atlantic history. Presenting an immense wealth of new archival material, Lyman L. Johnson not only respectfully and meticulously recreates the lives and times of artisans in late-colonial Argentina, but also connects their lives to the wider society, broad imperial issues such as the slave trade, and the revolutionary forces emerging in the Atlantic world. Kenneth Andrien, author of Andean Worlds: Indigenous History, Culture, and consciousness under Spanish Rule, 15321825This important book presents a completely new interpretation of Argentinas independence era. Lyman L. Johnson uses Buenos Aires artisans as an entryway into the war of independence, depicting both the lower classes of Buenos Aires and the city itself with sensitivity and intelligence. It should be noted that Workshop of Revolution is a fine urban history. Charles Walker, author of Shaky Colonialism: The 1746 Earthquake-Tsunami in Lima, Peru, and Its Long Aftermath
