3. Independence and nineteenth century.
In this vast stage that we can frame chronologically from 1810 to 1899 and includes our National Independence War (1810-1823/1830) and the rest of the nineteenth century that forms the first part of what is commonly called history Venezuela Contemporary (1830 to present) and from which there is abundant "Abundant" literature, where we made a huge effort selection practically forced us to fight simultaneously for and against our own tastes, all to give a balanced body of work that meets the requirements of this bibliography: key works, accessible and available now.
3.1. The independence process: 1810-1823/1830
The independence of Venezuela. History minimal. is a collective text, coordinated by Elías Pino Iturrieta and continues the excellent editorial created the series "minimum Stories" published Lagoven initially and now the Oil Workers' Fund of PDVSA. It is perhaps the only easily accessible book discusses the issue in a professional and high, not partial and exaggerated or patriotic sentiment far concentrated only on the war. Includes a brief summary of the long and complex process Venezuelan independence that throughout nineteenth century and much of the twentieth, has been treated, painted and revised so much that the excess has been a huge difficulty to analyze and scientifically serious national historic moment. Here it is assumed the challenge and presents various views on the thought process, how was the economy, CIVILICE and military relations, social affairs, and Gran Colombia . A very useful work indeed and you can get almost any country's commercial library
Journal of rebellion (Venezuela, Latin America and Spain). April 19, 1810, July 5, 1811 , De Gustavo Vaamonde. Published under the auspices of the Polar Foundation (together with the Academy of History and several national universities) in 2008, in his collection on Bicentennial, is perhaps the most current book on this subject so far, produced "from scratch" or is re but not entirely new and original publication. Mostly presents an interesting compilation of data (over 400) related to both historical dates, but given the novelty of the issue does not focus exclusively on what happened in Caracas, but gives a more global pointing and highlighting not only the political-ideological and military but legal, institutional, administrative, economic, the diplomatic and social. The author does not hesitate to speak of an "Atlantic revolution" because it was a process that occurred throughout the Hispanic world and the two sides of the ocean that encompassed. Much of the data are unpublished and others are reissues of excerpts of texts since decade spent on the process Venezuelan independence (such as first-hand testimonies of some witnesses to the events) for its abundance of data, which assist the description and narration of events as well known, and publicized to excess, of our independence, this is a book geared more to the consultation and research support, a text "new" that seeks to re-analyze and interpret what happened, being precisely the presentation and organization of data and provide the most innovative, can not even in the sesquicentennial of independence (1960) had submitted such a document. It gets you in commercial bookstores, bookshops (see here) and also the headquarters Polar Foundation
The fear of revolution: the struggle for freedom in Venezuela 1777-1830 De Miguel Izard . One of the classics in the study of Venezuelan and Latin American Independence made by foreign experts (the other would be the work of Charles C. Griffin, John V. Lombardi and John Lynch) and this is from a strong Marxist perspective. This is a reprint of 2009 by the National Center History (Public body created by the government of Hugo Chávez for the study and dissemination of history, from a government perspective and distinct from the National Academy of History) as the original edition, which dates from 1979 - was exhausted from doing at least 15 years. It is an interesting view because it puts a sustained emphasis on social, as it had been "a bad-habit present in excess historiographical Venezuelan independence only as a military and ideological process, neglecting the social area. So from the Marxist appreciation, Lynch, which has an extensive bibliography on Hispanic studies, is dedicated to making a story "upstream" showing what is not usually the independence process: a deep social struggle between the sectors were in fierce conflict over the past colonial days, and that the break-independence neglected conflicts unleashed precisely as feared by the white Creole elite, who aspired to and aware of their total number to less than most brown, black, Indian and mestizo, fears the devastating "for them, equalizing revolution, hence the title of the work. To complement and contrast to the classic history of the War of Independence is a good text is worth reading even if you a strong ideological bias and was not prepared for a general audience, but for specialists in social science history. You get basic and mainly in the public library network, "South Libraries (formerly Kuaimare)
Battles of Venezuela. 1810-1824. Edgar Gonzalez Estéves. Books published by El Nacional is a text summarizing the topic pretty well been kidnapped studies of national independence: war. Here is a very detailed sequence (with map in several cases) of the main fighting that occurred over two and a half decades that Venezuela met and suffered the devastation and human and material destruction largest in its history, and because of its impact and intensity level of the citizens of this country and studies of their past, hope it will be the only and last that we should live, suffer and recorded in our chronicles. It is available in major bookstores malls, smart stops on the National or the headquarters of the newspaper.
Venezuelan mentality of emancipation. 1810-1812 Iturrieta De Elías Pino. It is produced Bid & Co. Editor . A classic that opened in Venezuela called the study of the history of mentality. It was the thesis of the author, who graduated in Mexico tutored by Leopoldo Zea. While there appears at first sight a basic work for the general public for inclusion in this selection is because it is available in our days a paperback reissue that may serve to revive this text to an audience beyond the specialized . Your reading can really help anyone interested in really understanding what the ideology or political-social thought of those who took power after the April 19, 1810 and why it was developed and more Beyond the famous cliché "The influence of Independence and the French Revolution." Through the revision of documents, proclamations and papers are very interesting to discover a world that very little had been studied. Lie worth reading this book. It is available in major bookstores country's trade.
The voice of the vanquished. Party Ideas realistic Caracas, 1810-1821. Straka Thomas De . As with the aforementioned Iturrieta Pino book (and also in this case edit Editor Bid & Co. along with UCAB ) this is perhaps not a book "basic" approach to understanding the history of Venezuela but their mention here is mainly because it is the only book in the historiography which aims to study what its title says, the version of the side that lost the war of independence something over 150 we have been almost closed to the Venezuelans, either by exaggerated and bad sense of patriotism, and the lack of investigative curiosity to explore that side and those stories of our history (or historical investigation say another , Graciela Soriano de García Pelayo, " neglected aspects of these two decades ) For these reasons I think it is necessary that every Venezuelan I know this works and can read it created a more comprehensive and inclusive of this episode in their past founding. You can get in major commercial bookstores in the country or at the headquarters of UCAB publications.
3.2. The nineteenth century: from 1830 to 1899
General works
political developments in Venezuela, 1810-1960. Augusto De Mijares. Another classic national history again available to the public. This edition is for the National Academy of History. Originally Posted by Mendoza Foundation in a collective work on the occasion of 150 years of independence, work Mijares is an excellent descriptive and analytical summary of what he says as his title. Has the peculiarity leading an effort to show the country in civil over the military. There is no glorification of heroes (except Bolívar) and much less warlords, or extends or stretches a lot in reference to the deeds of arms, whether independence or civil wars. It makes a good effort to show rather heroes or civilian figures who excelled in national life throughout our troubled nineteenth century and how his intellectual contribution was rather to the formation of nationality and state that the continuing clashes suffered by the Republic since its inception. His only flaw, perhaps find its own title: to be an evolution is favored narrative and description ("take the story" it) on the analysis and interpretation, and when policy focuses solely on government, neglecting or neglecting the economic and social aspects, that in light of modern studies of history are inseparable, and essential "for the correct understanding of the past and so do just a total history, more comprehensive sectoral studies that both periods but rather processes. Awarded mainly in the library of the National Academy History at the Palace of the Academies, in downtown Caracas.
Venezuela: 1830 to present day. The poet and writer Rafael Arráiz Lucca. Published by Editorial Alfadil , this is one of the few works of general history on contemporary Venezuela can be found in a single volume. Now in its second edition. It seeks to be a synthesis between tradition and description detailed analysis of all the national process since the end of the Gran Colombia until 2006, when the author finishes his work. It focuses mainly on speaking periods political, dividing the work by governments, responding to the classic version or conceive of telling the story of our history that in the eyes of ordinary reader of the general public is usually a very political and based on a succession of presidencies. It is a good guide book for those interested in knowing the political developments in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and especially can serve as a supplementary text for high school students and universities. It is available in major bookstores country's trade.
Venezuela History, Volume II. Miguel Hurtado De Wood. Published by the University Press Fund Experimental Pedagogy ( FedeUPEL ) is the second volume in a series of textbooks for college students presenting national history. Volume I is to cycle from indigenous cultures until the end of the Gran Colombia (1498-1830) and therefore the volume that concerns us here presents to readers the country's social policy developments from 1830 to 2000. May be wrongly assumed that as this is a book to be a text information too basic, elementary data loaded and even superficial in content. Quite the contrary. This is one of the best works of its kind not to envy all those published in non-university commercial publishers targeting the general public, as the author (Doctor of History degree from the University of Paris and my teacher in high school and college) sets out the process with an excellent summary that does not diminish at all the depth of content, resulting in a very good balance between narrative, description and analysis-interpretation, which puts this book in a prominent place and prominent role in helping the reader understand the historical development of our nation. The book as a novel and unique teaching resource synthesis a series of tables that greatly help to facilitate that understanding. You can buy mainly in Science Tecni release, the Libraries for Teaching nuclei (UPEL) or at the UN headquarters in FedeUPEL.
Political History of Venezuela. De Manuel Vicente Magallanes. Published by the Central University of Veniezuela, UCV. We could say that this is the last work of its kind, is a typical descriptive and narrator manual, written in code very literary. Curiously, this works in chronological covers almost as old as the history of Gil Fortoul: from the fifteenth century to the beginning of the federal War (1858). Certainly not concentrated as was the custom of the old manuals to describe in extenso wars and battles, but rather to tell regarding the struggles, rebellions and uprisings in the colonial years and the major political parties, groups or factions that made life in the Republic from the same independence to the great crisis of the federation. Its value lies in presenting a large collection of data that can be of great interest to the non-specialist general reader to the professional researcher in that they are in most cases documented with a work that can support and then serve both to inform the reader as a guide to the researcher, respectively. You can buy directly on the library's home study or in the hallway of the booksellers of the university.
specific Works
first minute of Venezuelans. Iturrieta De Elías Pino. Is published by the UCAB . This book is another classic author, hopefully to be reprinted made accessible to the general public. It is one of the best approaches to historical understanding to the period 1830-1848, generally known as the " Conservative Oligarchy" and has been one of the least studied in depth in our history, but one of the most tried and convicted either be an initial stage anti Bolivarian because they stayed outrageous institutions as slavery and because the power both political as economic was highly concentrated in a closed elitestco group that became the magnet of the hatred of the popular majority. However, this is the merit of this work, the author chooses to go beyond the "bad" and what is already well known on the stage, concentrating on explaining the reason for such behaviors as questioning, analyzing the mentality of the elites who hold power in those years, defining what their plan for the country and its model of society. An interesting journey that helps us better understand the beginnings of the Autonomous Republic independent that arises after the end of the Gran Colombia. It is available in major bookstores country's trade and especially at the headquarters of UCAB publications in Montalban.
Country archipelago. Venezuela, 1830-1858. De Elías Pino Iturra. Published by the Foundation Bigott , is one of the best-perhaps the best-studied texts that national history since the beginning of the independent and autonomous republic in 1830 until the beginning of the federal War in 1858. And you can almost say it is the most extensive and improved version of the previous book mentioned in this selection. It is truly a book complete, which also has valuable illustrations on moments that are studied. Master destination is studied in the state of the country from the governments of Páez up Monagas and the federation, considering aspects such as the ideas and ideology, daily life, social conflicts and major political figures of the time. Its only flaw is its size could mention, since it is a luxury edition practically, therefore is a much higher volume and thickness as is customarily used to read, which binds only to leaf through sitting at a desk, because otherwise we use it seems almost impossible uncomfortable. Still gets in major commercial bookstores in the country, but not both. Anyway you can go directly to the headquarters of the Foundation Bigott and buy there.
The war of the warlords. Edgar Gonzalez Estéves. Books published by El Nacional, is somehow continuing the research initiated by this author with his book about the battles during the War of Independence, which now continues on with the struggles that the country experienced over the nineteenth century. Here is the story in an entertaining and summarized, major civil wars that ravaged the country between 1830 and 1903 and that fall in the era of warlordism Venezuela. This is succinctly explain the causes of them, their development and the consequences, which in one way or another ended up in chains to be the cause of another conflict, and until the twentieth century and conclude that almost endless cycle of violence the governments of Castro and Gomez. It is available in major bookstores malls, smart stops on the National or the headquarters of the newspaper.
time Ezequiel Zamora. Federico De Britto Figueroa. Published by the Central University of Venezuela , this is one of the classics left us this important historian. Although there is a clear intention of the author of Marxism want to fit all the events surrounding the character of political life in study, work itself is valuable because it represents one of the most documented studies of this character as complex as the period of Federal War (1858/59-1863) both, (Zamora and the civil war) until the time of publication of this work had been quite neglected and only concentrated within the optics of the federal Liberals winning the conflict obviously exalted the character and the act in question as a hero and a quest respectively. In light of historical materialism there is a progress in understanding how the social and economic aspects are elements of weight in explaining the process which will unfold cardinal Zamora as a character, but sometimes in reading the text is missing the cold and academic objectivity to see serna occasionally a tone and pamphleteer mitinesco neither necessary nor required to understand this historical period. You can get the work in the same library of the house of study and major commercial bookstores in the country.
Guzmán Blanco and his time. is a collective, coordinated by Inés Quintero and edited in 1994 by Monte Avila Editores . First things first: This book is exhausted, but I have seen for some commercial libraries, spatially less famous and well known, say that rather bookstores that are small and do not belong to any large chain bookstores of time. Similarly, sometimes we are lucky in public libraries belonging to the State ("South Book" before "Kuaimare") where they often remain dozens of uncatalogued books in storage by the stores, and one day are offered for sale again, completely "new" but its pages are already yellow. Viewing this has been the case with this book, is included in this selection. The merit of this book is that despite its small size and thickness has nothing to envy to the monumental tomes have been written about the American Distinguished , precisely because their authors do not focus so much on the man or the character, but rather in the period built around it, almost "in his image and likeness." It discusses issues such as political, business, science, the arts during this period and of course the phone part of the literature on the character. It is an indispensable work for understanding our century XIX is a shame that is not reissued for this bicentennial. However, if some lucky reader gets a copy, will get a little piece of glory.
The Fall of Liberalism yellow. Ramon J. De Velásquez. We end this look at nineteenth century with another classic inevitable our historiography, which fortunately is reprinted and available in the country thanks to the editorial Standard. This is the book that explains both the decline of liberalism and the end post Guzman Blanco, and the irresistible rise of Cipriano Castro and the Andean focusing in the character of Antonio Paredes a particular character that he lived two turbulent process and was chosen by the author as a figure that can tack the description and analysis of the study period, because he considers it a character unjustly forgotten by national historiography. Although it is a historical and well documented book, the narrative form no longer remember a good historical novel, because we could assume that if the events described and studied, had not happened in reality, maybe this book would a wonderful tale of magic realism as it seems to blend elements of fiction drawn but were strictly true. Perhaps this particular feature made more friendly and appealing reading for anyone who approaches the book because to understand the end of our century (and early XX) the general public must necessarily read this text. You can get in major commercial bookstores in the country, mainly in the big chains.
The gaze of the Other. Iturrieta De Elías Pino and Pedro E. Calzadilla. Published by the Foundation Bigott. With this book we completed our selection of nineteenth-century Venezuelan and could not be in a better way: for this is a selection of testimonies and accounts of travelers can mine (mostly European) who visited Venezuela during the nineteenth century, allowing us to have a more or less credible and conditions state that took the country. Accompanied by relevant illustrations, many of which made the travelers themselves, the chronicles of these visitors will enable us to have a fairly realistic approximation of the country they visit, giving the reader the opportunity to capture a moment, "a picture" of the site visited. Overall it was Herodotus, in his famous books 9 history. Here, then repeats the pattern that allows us to have a little vision beyond the traditional perception planet we "all" the nineteenth century was "just" wars and warlords, stifling the ability to see or understand other reality. Issues such as daily life, the status of towns and roads (not just in Caracas but from within the country) the landscapes, flora and fauna, agriculture , popular religiosity, perceptions of order, politics and government are seen by the skill and extracted with much originality, but not mutually exclusive in their views much of the prejudice that inevitably had the men from developed countries to see the status of troubled countries and emerging organization like ours. But realizing this natural flaw can be rich one notices the testimonial information that make this text one of the best to understand how it was really our nineteenth century. As happens with the Pino aforementioned book, Country Archipelago, this book, also published by the foundation Bigott-is quite large and bulky, which makes reading difficult and uncomfortable unless you are sitting in front a table or desk, but beyond that the work has no waste. It gets mostly in commercial bookstores large chains or directly at the headquarters of the foundation Bigott.

The war of the warlords. Edgar Gonzalez Estéves. Books published by El Nacional, is somehow continuing the research initiated by this author with his book about the battles during the War of Independence, which now continues on with the struggles that the country experienced over the nineteenth century. Here is the story in an entertaining and summarized, major civil wars that ravaged the country between 1830 and 1903 and that fall in the era of warlordism Venezuela. This is succinctly explain the causes of them, their development and the consequences, which in one way or another ended up in chains to be the cause of another conflict, and until the twentieth century and conclude that almost endless cycle of violence the governments of Castro and Gomez. It is available in major bookstores malls, smart stops on the National or the headquarters of the newspaper. 
time Ezequiel Zamora. Federico De Britto Figueroa. Published by the Central University of Venezuela , this is one of the classics left us this important historian. Although there is a clear intention of the author of Marxism want to fit all the events surrounding the character of political life in study, work itself is valuable because it represents one of the most documented studies of this character as complex as the period of Federal War (1858/59-1863) both, (Zamora and the civil war) until the time of publication of this work had been quite neglected and only concentrated within the optics of the federal Liberals winning the conflict obviously exalted the character and the act in question as a hero and a quest respectively. In light of historical materialism there is a progress in understanding how the social and economic aspects are elements of weight in explaining the process which will unfold cardinal Zamora as a character, but sometimes in reading the text is missing the cold and academic objectivity to see serna occasionally a tone and pamphleteer mitinesco neither necessary nor required to understand this historical period. You can get the work in the same library of the house of study and major commercial bookstores in the country. 
Guzmán Blanco and his time. is a collective, coordinated by Inés Quintero and edited in 1994 by Monte Avila Editores . First things first: This book is exhausted, but I have seen for some commercial libraries, spatially less famous and well known, say that rather bookstores that are small and do not belong to any large chain bookstores of time. Similarly, sometimes we are lucky in public libraries belonging to the State ("South Book" before "Kuaimare") where they often remain dozens of uncatalogued books in storage by the stores, and one day are offered for sale again, completely "new" but its pages are already yellow. Viewing this has been the case with this book, is included in this selection. The merit of this book is that despite its small size and thickness has nothing to envy to the monumental tomes have been written about the American Distinguished , precisely because their authors do not focus so much on the man or the character, but rather in the period built around it, almost "in his image and likeness." It discusses issues such as political, business, science, the arts during this period and of course the phone part of the literature on the character. It is an indispensable work for understanding our century XIX is a shame that is not reissued for this bicentennial. However, if some lucky reader gets a copy, will get a little piece of glory. 
The Fall of Liberalism yellow. Ramon J. De Velásquez. We end this look at nineteenth century with another classic inevitable our historiography, which fortunately is reprinted and available in the country thanks to the editorial Standard. This is the book that explains both the decline of liberalism and the end post Guzman Blanco, and the irresistible rise of Cipriano Castro and the Andean focusing in the character of Antonio Paredes a particular character that he lived two turbulent process and was chosen by the author as a figure that can tack the description and analysis of the study period, because he considers it a character unjustly forgotten by national historiography. Although it is a historical and well documented book, the narrative form no longer remember a good historical novel, because we could assume that if the events described and studied, had not happened in reality, maybe this book would a wonderful tale of magic realism as it seems to blend elements of fiction drawn but were strictly true. Perhaps this particular feature made more friendly and appealing reading for anyone who approaches the book because to understand the end of our century (and early XX) the general public must necessarily read this text. You can get in major commercial bookstores in the country, mainly in the big chains. 
The gaze of the Other. Iturrieta De Elías Pino and Pedro E. Calzadilla. Published by the Foundation Bigott. With this book we completed our selection of nineteenth-century Venezuelan and could not be in a better way: for this is a selection of testimonies and accounts of travelers can mine (mostly European) who visited Venezuela during the nineteenth century, allowing us to have a more or less credible and conditions state that took the country. Accompanied by relevant illustrations, many of which made the travelers themselves, the chronicles of these visitors will enable us to have a fairly realistic approximation of the country they visit, giving the reader the opportunity to capture a moment, "a picture" of the site visited. Overall it was Herodotus, in his famous books 9 history. Here, then repeats the pattern that allows us to have a little vision beyond the traditional perception planet we "all" the nineteenth century was "just" wars and warlords, stifling the ability to see or understand other reality. Issues such as daily life, the status of towns and roads (not just in Caracas but from within the country) the landscapes, flora and fauna, agriculture , popular religiosity, perceptions of order, politics and government are seen by the skill and extracted with much originality, but not mutually exclusive in their views much of the prejudice that inevitably had the men from developed countries to see the status of troubled countries and emerging organization like ours. But realizing this natural flaw can be rich one notices the testimonial information that make this text one of the best to understand how it was really our nineteenth century. As happens with the Pino aforementioned book, Country Archipelago, this book, also published by the foundation Bigott-is quite large and bulky, which makes reading difficult and uncomfortable unless you are sitting in front a table or desk, but beyond that the work has no waste. It gets mostly in commercial bookstores large chains or directly at the headquarters of the foundation Bigott. continue next month ...
Please read me!
