A History of Argentina
At first glance, the English translation of Ezequiel Adamovsky's Historia de la Argentina: Biografía de un país; Desde la conquista española hasta nuestros días (2021) seems an odd choice for Duke University Press's Latin America in Translation / en Traducción / em Tradução series, joining an already rather crowded field of general histories of Argentina available in English by David Rock, Jonathan Brown, and Luis Alberto Romero (the latter anoth…
Labor Justice across the Americas
Labor history has devoted little attention to the law and legal institutions mediating labor-capital relations. The volume edited by Leon Fink and Juan Manuel Palacio, Labor Justice across the Americas, aims to correct that oversight at least for the countries of the Western Hemisphere with a comparative approach that highlights commonalities as well as significant national differences. Palacio's two introductory essays are insightful in explaini…
Argentina's Missing Bones
Missing Bones: the ‘Dirty War ’in Córdoba examines the history of state terrorism during Argentina’s 1976—83 military dictatorship in a single place: the industrial city of Córdoba, Argentina’s second largest city and the site of some of the dirty war’s greatest crimes. It examines the city’s previous history of social protest, working class militancy and leftist activism as an explanation for the particular nature of the dirty war there. Missing…
Ambassadors of the Working Class
In Ambassadors of the Working Class, Semán uncovers a little-known chapter in the history of Juan Domingo Perón’s government and its labor supporters—the labor attaché program that assigned union activists to Argentina’s embassies. Using a transnational framework, Semán recounts the story of union men (only a handful of women participated in the program and none in the original cohort) recruited to serve in Argentina’s diplomatic corps, long a pr…
Gustavo Morello. The Catholic Church and Argentina’s Dirty War
In The Catholic Church and Argentina’s Dirty War, Gustavo Morello, a Jesuit sociologist from Argentina, attempts to provide a more nuanced interpretation of Argentina’s Catholic world during the 1976–1983 military dictatorship than previously found in other treatments of the subject. Scholars such as Emilio Mignone and journalists like Horacio Verbitsky have produced influential studies documenting the collaboration between the Catholic Church hi…
Paulo Drinot and Alan Knight, editors. The Great Depression in Latin America
In The Great Depression in Latin America, a group of Latin Americanists examine the divergent trajectories followed in individual countries during the global economic crisis of the 1930s. All the major Latin American countries receive a chapter written by specialists most familiar with the national stories: Argentina (Roy Hora), Chile (Angela Vergara), Brazil (Joel Wolfe), Peru (Paulo Drinot and Carlos Contreras), Colombia (Marcelo Bucheli and Lu…
The Politics of National Capitalism
In mid-twentieth-century Latin America there was a strong consensus between Left and Right-Communists working under the directives of the Third International, nationalists within the military interested in fostering industrialization, and populists-about the need to break away from the colonial legacies of the past and to escape from the constraints of the international capitalist system. Even though they disagreed about the desired end state, Ar…
The Age of Youth in Argentina
In her book The Age of Youth in Argentina, Valeria Manzano studies youth as a social and cultural category from its first appearance in national debates with Juan Perón's establishment of the Unión de Estudiantes Secundarios through the subsequent explosion of secondary school and university enrollments under Arturo Frondizi and other democratically elected governments to the development of a nonconformist counterculture with the onset of the Jua…
Jorge A. Nallim. Transformations and Crisis of Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-1955
Liberalism is a subject that has occupied the attention of much of the new historical scholarship on Latin America. Earlier interpretations viewed liberalism's policies as being in conflict with the values of the popular classes, especially the peasantry. The recent cultural turn has posited something very different: a popular liberalism that embraced, in its historical moment, a revolutionary idea that allowed its proponents to protect establish…
The Politics of National Capitalism
"An analysis of the social relations, political strategies and history behind capitalist economic development in Latin America, with particular attention to Argentina"--Provided by publisher.
Forgotten Continent
In Forgotten Continent: The Battle for Latin America’s Soul, Michael Reid laments that Latin America currently holds a marginal position in global consciousness, ignored if not utterly “forgotten,” just as it experiences what he sees as a remarkable recovery from the legacy of debt, drugs, and dictatorship. A reporter for the British magazine The Economist, Reid has lived in and reported from Latin America for many years. He brings to the book mu…
Prolegomenon to Neoliberalism
Recent research in economic history recasts the debate on economic policy in postwar Argentina. It demonstrates that the highly partisan writings on recent economic history and neoliberal prescriptions for economic reform have relied on an incomplete and therefore distorted understanding of the policies undertaken in the decades before the neoliberal reforms. An analysis of the inner workings of the country's banking system in these years provide…

Mitos, paradojas y realidades en la Argentina peronista (1946-1955)
Economic nationalism was an integral part of Perón’s repertoire of populist politics. It remains one of the most enduring images of that era and among the most important of Perón’s legacies to Argentine political culture. In Mitos, paradojas y realidades, Noemí Girbal-Blacha demonstrates the extent to which Peronist discourse was often contradicted in practice. The Perón governments of the 1940s and 1950s did represent a rupture in Argentine econ…
A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century
Poor People's Politics
The December 2001 protests highlighted a profound shift in politics, society, and culture in Argentina. The once-powerful labor movement was virtually absent, replaced by the piqueteros and large contingents of urban poor (along with middle-class protesters, irate over the government’s freezing of all bank accounts, the so-called corralito), who relegated the unions and the organized working class to a secondary role. Perhaps this is not surprisi…

Industrial Sectors and Union Politics in Latin American Labor Movements
The March 1976 coup that overthrew a turbulent Peronist government in Argentina also ended one of the few experiments with worker control of industry in Latin American history. For nearly three years, the Buenos Aires local of the country's strong light and power workers' union, the Sindicato de Luz y Fuerza, administered the great public utility SEGBA (Servicios Eléctricos del Gran Buenos Aires), provider of electric power for the capital city a…
