Notes Introduction 1. Carlos Newland defines the “Teaching State” as the set of institutions that Latin American governments created in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to provide education and define curricular contents. Carlos Newland, “The Estado Docente and Its Expansion: Spanish American Elementary Education, 1900–1950,” Journal of Latin American Studies 26: 2 (1994): 449. 2. Katz defines “educational system” as a form of public school- ing organization comprising a network of free, compulsory, age- graded schools, arranged in hierarchical fashion, administered by full-time experts, and staffed by trained teachers.

Belaunde and Riva-Agüero took the definition of nation set by French philosopher writer Ernest Renan. See Ernest Renan, “What is a Nation?” (1882) in The Poetry of the Celtic Races, and Other Studies by Ernest Renan (Port Washington, NY; London: Kennikat Press, 1970), 61–83. 4.
