Political Culture in Spanish America, 1500-1830 examines the nature of Spanish American political culture by reevaluating the political theory, institutions, and practices of the Hispanic world. Consisting of eight case studies with a focus on New Spain and Quito, Jaime E. Rodriguez O. demonstrates that the process of independence of Spanish America differs from previous claims.

This book is a radical reinterpretation of the process that led to the independence of Mexico, one that emphasizes political processes and cultural continuities instead of a break with the Spanish Monarchy.
