Hiding in Plain Sight
Reviewed by: Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Republic by Erika Denise Edwards Brian Bockelman Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Republic. By Erika Denise Edwards. Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 2020. Every nation has a perennial set of questions about its past—questions that, no matter how long they are scrutinized or how much new evidence tu…
Park, Tenement, Slaughterhouse
This little gem of a book often sparkles, when the light catches it just right. This is no small feat for a text only recently cut from rough stone as a doctoral dissertation at the Technische Universität Berlin. Antonio Carbone, its German-trained Italian author, offers an admirably concise and insightful study of a somewhat unheralded period in the urban history of Buenos Aires, what he calls “the third quarter of the nineteenth century, a majo…
Still turning toward a cartographic history of Latin America
Since the 1990s, scholars of Latin America have rediscovered maps as historical documents and mapping as a historically significant social practice. Inspired in part by theoretical developments in the broader history of cartography, particularly the notion of maps as cultural texts embedded in sociopolitical contexts that shape their production and meaning, cartographic histories of the region have flourished in recent decades, leading some to he…
Cristian Alarcón. Dance for Me When I Die
Dance for Me When I Die is a book that asks few questions and provides no answers, but makes you think all the same. In 1999, following the police murder of a charismatic teenage hoodlum, Víctor Manuel “El Frente” Vital, Página/12 journalist Cristian Alarcón began a precarious eighteen-month journey into San Fernando, home to several of the many poor and violent villas miserias (slums) that encircle modern Buenos Aires. His object was not to inve…
Taxation and Society in Twentieth-Century Argentina
We have many books on death in Latin American history, but surprisingly few on taxes. With proverbial inevitability, this appears to be changing. Putting aside technical studies of the tax reforms that swept the region after 1980, a handful of recent books have attempted to trace the longer-term history of taxation in specific countries, especially Mexico and Argentina, often as an adjunct to the analysis of fiscal policy and the problem of debt …
Between the Gaucho and the Tango
term in 1946 by "promoting" literary lion Jorge Luis Borges from his comfortable post at the Buenos Aires municipal library to the position of poultry and rabbit inspector in a nearby public market.Whether or not Pero ́n himself issued the order remains unclear, but the event sparked lifelong enmity between the two prominent Argentines-no doubt felt more acutely by Borges, who had a sharp pen but no other means of retaliation. 1 In subsequent dec…
Reinventing Modernity in Latin America
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Since the 1930s, Anglo-American scholars have been grumbling about the paucity of good works treating the intellectual history of Latin America. Despite a slowly growing literature and a consensus that the region has nurtured some of the world's most imaginative artists and writers, few historians today feel compelled to rectify the situation, preferring to leave the subfield to their colleagues in litera…
Civility and Politics in the Origins of the Argentine Nation
This is not a new book. Its appearance in English is only the latest step in a long journey that has led its Argentine author to an academic post in Paris and has already resulted in a French dissertation (1992), a French book (1999), and a Spanish translation (2000). This transatlantic evolution is interesting in itself, not least because in recent decades Argentine historians have aligned themselves more closely with British and North American …
