Description: The book analyzes the constitutive elements of the nation for Andrés Bello, in the context of the independence of the first half of the 19th century in Latin America. Its objective is to shed light on a path that, although it has been treated, has also lacked construction. This, with the hope of making us more aware of what we are today as Latin American peoples and as an independent nation-state. Likewise, this historical and conceptual construct is considered necessary, since the debates that took place around the nation at the beginning of the 19th century marked the subsequent path to our present. Today, we require adequate understandings that not only remain on paper, but also have an impact on our conflictive, unique and complex reality.
