Age of Dissent

Martín Bowen is an assistant professor of history at New York University Abu Dhabi. He is the author of Experimentar el cuerpo y escribir los pecados: la confesión general de José Ignacio Eyzaguirre (1799-1804).

Martín Bowen's The Age of Dissent offers a new and original vision of a period in Chile's history that we know primarily for its political, commercial, and wartime development. Based on solid documentary research, Bowen demonstrates that the so-called Age of Revolutions was a period of profound cultural transformations that affected diverse social actors and not just an elite."--Andrés Baeza Ruz, author of Contacts, Collisions, and Relationships: Britons and Chileans in the Independence Era, 1806-1831
