Wanderers Of Empire: The Tropical Tramp In Latin America, 1870-1930, Jack Werner

To explore how this identity evolved, this thesis examines primary sources, mostly in the form of newspapers found in the National Archives in Santiago, Chile, that illuminate the Carabineros' relations with the public. The knowledge of the Carabineros' institutional identity contributes …
