Paraguayans named their “dictador,” José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, “El supremo Dictador Perpetuo”. Unlike his fellow “dictadores”, such as Simón Bolívar, who achieved Independence by daunting deeds of physical and intellectual leadership, Francia ensured Paraguay’s independence by enhancing its unity and productivity. And yet Sarmiento, despite his ethnic cleansing, is more widely admired. This example points to our moral duty to define “dictatorship” and, by extension, to the indispensability of the present volume.
