The untold story of how liberal reform, Indigenous resistance, and the rubber trade transformed Ecuador's Amazon.

Ecuador's 1895 Liberal Revolution was a turning point for the nation. Along with crippling the power of the Catholic Church, the new Liberal government expanded the ranks of political participation, spearheaded projects to soften endemic regionalism, integrated the national economy into global markets through an export-oriented economic strategy, and launched a program of Indian Redemption aimed at civilizing what elites deemed as the backward Indigenous masses. The cacao economy was essential to the Liberal state reform, as it facilitated infrastructure modernizatoin and the ability to provide unprecedented public goods and services.
