El conflicto de Leticia (1932-1933) y los ejércitos de Perú y Colombia
Border conflicts in Latin America have a long history. Some, like the late nineteenth-century War of the Pacific involving Bolivia, Chile, and Peru, witnessed bloody fighting, occupation of enemy territory, and lasting effects and consequences felt down to the present day. Many others featured relatively short-term occupations and only minor skirmishes.The conflict between Peru and Colombia over the Leticia trapezoid, granted by treaty to Colombi…

Historia de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Vol. 6, El Gran Buenos Aires
This is the sixth and final volume of an important and ambitious effort to examine the history of Argentina's wealthiest and most populous province from the colonial period to the first decade of the twenty-first century. As with previous volumes, this is the product of a collaborative effort, in this case involving 27 contributors who have written, singly or jointly, an introduction and 18 chapters.The introductory essay by architectural histori…
Historia de la provincia de Buenos Aires . Vol. 3. De la organización provincial a la federalización de Buenos Aires (1821–1880)
The province of Buenos Aires has played an outsized role in Argentine history. Its agricultural riches, complemented by significant industrial expansion beginning in the mid-twentieth century, have dominated the nation's economic life from colonial times to the present. Its demographic weight, containing between 35 and 40 percent of Argentina's population, has made it an essential electoral prize.The two volumes under review here are part of an a…
A los cuatro vientos: Las ciudades de la América hispánica
The 1960s and 1970s represented something of a golden age in the historical study of Latin American cities. Scholars like Richard M. Morse, James Scobie, Jorge Hardoy, and others pioneered investigations of the major Latin American capitals and, as in the case of Scobie, some of the region’s “secondary cities” as well. Latin American Urban Research, published in the 1970s, kept readers up to date on the latest work on the subject. While interest …
Mercados, inversores y elites: Las inversiones francesas en la Argentina, 1880 - 1914
The cultural influence of France on Latin America, especially on Latin American elites, at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century is generally well known. Less studied is the French economic influence in finance, trade, and direct investment in the region during this period, given the hegemonic economic predominance of Great Britain. Andrés Regalsky proposes to fill this gap in the literature with a focus on Argentin…
Politics and Urban Growth in Santiago, Chile, 1891-1941
From 1891 to 1941, Santiago—Chile’s capital and its largest and most important city—experienced rapid urbanization, industrialization, and administrative expansion along with a massive internal migration that had significant social and economic consequences for the city. This book is the first study to focus on this important period in Santiago’s history. Drawing on a wide range of original research, the book describes the growth of the city, bot…
Democracy and U.S. Policy in Latin America during the Truman Years
The Allied defeat of the Axis dictatorships at the end of WWII seemed to offer promise to Latin American democrats, suggesting that shifting political tides would work to replace authoritarian regimes with freely elected ones throughout the globe. Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru, and Venezuela (with Argentina under Juan Perón, perhaps, a more ambiguous example) experienced transitions to democracy, although only in two cases (B…
Urban Pioneers: The Role of Women in the Local Government of Santiago, Chile, 1935-1946
When Socialist Ricardo Lagos assumed the presidency of Chile in January 2000, he named five women to his 16-member cabinet. While these five appointments were primarily to ministries that dealt with “women’s issues” such as education and health care, he also named Christian Democrat Soledad Alvear to the prestigious post of minister of foreign affairs.1 Two months later, he also appointed lawyer Patricia Carrasco as a kind of “super mayor” (alcal…
Vida intelectual en el Buenos Aires fin-de-siglo (1880-1910): "Derivas de la "cultura científica
This book is a welcome addition to the relatively scant literature on Argentine intellectual history. It focuses on five well-known figures of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, namely, Miguel Cané, José María Ramos Mejía, Carlos Octavio Bunge, Ernesto Quesada, and José Ingenieros. Through an examination of their lives and thoughts, it aims to show the various ways in which they tried to analyze the past, present, and future of th…
Claridad y el internacionalismo americano
Revista Claridad appeared in Buenos Aires, usually on a monthly basis, between 1926 and 1941. It featured a wide range of essays and articles about and by major figures of the socialist and what might be called “progressive” Left in Argentina and Latin America. It was edited by a Spanish immigrant, Antonio Zamora, who wrote most of the editorials and exerted a strong influence over the content of the review. The revista was closely associated wit…

Vicious Cycles: Recent Works on Argentine History
Argentina has been described so often as a land of paradoxes that the observation has become a cliche. A country rich in natural and human resources, Argentina has been trapped in a pattern of economic stagnation and decline for the past half-century.

The Province of Buenos Aires and Argentine Politics, 1912-1943
Politics, Parties, and Elections in Argentina's Province of Buenos Aires, 1912-42
HROUGHOUT Argentina's modern history the province of Buenos Aires has held the key to political control of the nation. In the twentieth century, and particularly after electoral reform in 1912, any party that hoped to capture the republic's presidency and dominate the national Congress viewed electoral victories in Buenos Aires as vital to success. The reasons are easy to discern; Argentina's largest, wealthiest, and most populous state, Buenos A…
The Socialist Press in Turn-of-the-Century Argentina
Socialism, as expressed by political parties professing that ideology, has had only minimal impact on Argentina's twentieth-century political history. On the other hand socialist ideas, broadly defined, have had considerable influence, although often in an indirect manner. In the political realm, for example, popular presidents Hipólito Yrigoyen (1916-1922; 1928-1930) and Juan Perón (1946-1955; 1973-1974) sought to pre-empt and co-opt socialism's…

Elections in the City of Buenos Aires during the First Yrigoyen Administration: Social Class and Political Preferences
IN recent years a growing number of scholars have sought to analyze Argentine elections to determine the socioeconomic bases of political party support in that country. Many have focused on the post-World War II period, especially the dramatic presidential victory of Juan Peron in 1946.1 Others have studied the early part of the twentieth century and a few the late nineteenth century.2 An important contribution to these efforts was the the public…

Municipal Politics and Government in Buenos Aires, 1918-1930
Urban growth has been one of the most striking characteristics of twentieth-century Latin American history and the focus of considerable scholarly interest (Morse, 1971, 1965). For the most part the main academic concentration has been on the social and economic aspects of this phenomenon. Political considerations have been confined to speculations on the potential radicalism of slum dwellers or the spontaneous self-governing institutions of new …

The Intellectual Background of the 1918 University Reform in Argentina
IN 1918 THE Argentine University of Cordoba inaugurated a set of reforms which became one of the most significant developments in the history of Latin American education and student politics. The Cordoba Reform produced a renovation and reorganization of universities not only in the Plata area, but also throughout most of Latin America. Furthermore, the events of 1918 made Argentina's university students an important political force in the Republ…
