520 1  "In this book, David Sowell traces the history of artisan 
       labor organizations in Bogota and examines long-term 
       political activity of Colombian artisans in the century 
       after independence. Relying on contemporary newspapers, 
       political handouts, broadsides, and public petitions, 
       Sowell describes and analyzes the economic, social, and 
       political history of the capital's artisan class, a 
       middling social sector with very significant social and 
       political strengths. Latin American labor history has 
       heretofore focused almost exclusively on twentieth-century
       industrial or agrarian laborers. This is the first study 
       in English of nineteenth-century Latin American artisans 
       and one of the few treatments that spans the whole of 
       nineteenth-century Colombian history."--BOOK JACKET. "The 
       rise and subsequent decline of artisan class political 
       activity coincided with Colombia's integration into the 
       world market. Initially petitioning for tariff protection,
       Bogota's craftsmen in time mobilized to address numerous 
       issues, including industrial education, internal trade 
       order, credit, and better health and educational 
       facilities. The artisan class was a sizeable share of the 
       urban electorate and, at the beginning of this period, was
       essentially cohesive. Sowell traces the transformation of 
       Colombia's economy and the (mainly negative) effects its 
       evolution had on bogotano artisans. By the end of the 
       nineteenth century, the fragmentation of the artisan class
       had destroyed their broad mobilizations. No longer leaders
       of the Colombian labor movement, the artisans were 
       replaced by laborers associated with industrial production,
       transportation systems, and the production of coffee."--
       BOOK JACKET. "The study of artisan-based labor activity 
       illuminates the foundations of contemporary Latin American
       societies. Sowell's examination of the political 
       expression of artisan class interests and the social and 
       political variables that affected those interests sheds 
       light on the subsequent industrial development in Colombia
       as well as on the "modern" period of Latin American 
       history."--Jacket.
