Industry and Development in Argentina: An Intellectual History, 1914-1980
Deuda externa, crisis y política: Banqueros, Fondo Monetario y Banco Mundial en la Argentina 1973-1983
The economic impact of the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional dictatorship (1976–83) remains a topic of perennial interest among scholars and wider publics in Argentina. In addition to the legacies of its infamous human rights abuses, the regime left behind a ballooning foreign debt and other burdens. In this slim volume, Raúl García Heras revisits the contentious history of dictatorship and debt. His study makes an empirical contribution to ongo…
Precios y valores: Nuevas miradas sobre el problema del costo de vida en América Latina durante el siglo xx
Objective/Context: This work considers how historians have investigated the problem of the cost of living in twentieth-century Latin America. Their investigations have collectively expanded our sense of how social groups in different historical moments have imagined, calculated, and coped with the cost of living. Methodology: The article draws on a wide corpus of research from fields such as economic and labor history, as well as the study of the…
Spinsters, Gamblers, and Friedrich Engels: The Social Worlds of Money and Expansionism in Argentina, 1860s-1900s
This article explores the social aspects of steam-age expansionism in Argentina by illuminating two groups often overlooked in standard histories of capitalist investment: the European investors who supplied the funds and the local workers who made capital projects realities. Focusing on the 1860s to the early 1900s, the first section draws on British company records to identify the actors who enabled informal empire. These include so-called gent…
Steven Hyland Jr. More Argentine Than You: Arabic-Speaking Immigrants in Argentina
The turn of the nineteenth into the twentieth century witnessed a wave of emigration from Greater Syria (“contemporary Syria and Lebanon, historical Palestine, and parts of Turkey and Iraq”), with an estimated 450,000–600,000 persons living abroad by World War I. Many migrants sought better fortunes in the Americas, and Argentina was among the main destinations: by the end of the 1920s, approximately 160,000 Arabic-speaking immigrants resided the…
Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina
This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and places Argentina firmly in dialog with the literature on race and nation in Latin America, from where it has long been excluded or marginalized for being a white, European exception in a mixed-race region. The contributors, based both in North America and Argentina, hail from the fields of history, anthropology, and lite…

The Argentine Silent Majority: Middle Classes, Politics, Violence, and Memory in the Seventies
In Argentina, there has been a recent surge of interest in the 1970s, as witnessed by the growing number of scholarly studies, memoirs, and films devoted to the era. The seventies also inform debate about the Néstor and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner administrations (2003–present), whose leaders and allies are often referred to as setentistas (that is, as members of the seventies generation). Sebastián Carassai's The Argentine Silent Majority adv…
New Directions in the History of Peronism
When scholars who work on Peronism reveal their area of expertise to non-Argentinean colleagues, reactions tend to fall along two lines. Most respond eagerly with their favorite anecdotes about Juan and Evita. But some have a perception that research on Peronism has been exhausted or that the subject is passé – or as one colleague put it, with a suitably outmoded expression, “Isn’t Peronism old hat?” The reality is that the field of “Peronism stu…
The Ruins of the New Argentina: Peronism and the Remaking of San Juan after the 1944 Earthquake
Mark A. Healey (2011), 416 (Duke University Press, Durham, NC and London, £69.00/$94.95, paperback £16.99/$25.95). In January 1944, an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck the Argentine province of S
El peronismo en la provincia de Buenos Aires, 1946-1955
Argentine historian Félix Luna once asserted that “nadie podrá escribir la historia del Partido Peronista . . . porque no existió” (p. 51). With decision-making power concentrated in Juan Domingo Perón at the apex of the state, the Peronist Party was, in Luna’s estimation, merely a facade. This conventional wisdom has long endured, but it has been challenged recently by a wave of research on the Partido Peronista — its institutions, second-line l…
Che’s Travels: The Making of a Revolutionary in 1950s Latin America
Ernesto "Che" Guevara twice traveled across Latin America in the early 1950s. Based on his accounts of those trips (published in English as The Motorcycle Diaries and Back on the Road), as well as other historical sources, Che's Travels follows Guevara, country by country, from his native Argentina through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela, and then from Argentina through Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. Each essay is focused on a single …
Women Build the Welfare State: Performing Charity and Creating Rights in Argentina, 1880-1955 , by Donna Guy
Argentina: What Went Wrong
This book represents the latest scholarly investigation into the Argentinean riddle: why did a seemingly wealthy, advanced nation veer from its path and become mired in perennial political and economic strife? There is no denying that this subject continues to attract attention, as anyone who has sat next to a tourist on a long flight to Buenos Aires can attest. Argentina’s crisis in 2001 – 2002 has only renewed interest among both scholars and a…
Peronist Consumer Politics and the Problem of Domesticating Markets in Argentina, 1943-1955
During a 1947 national radio broadcast, Argentine president Juan Domingo Perón explained to his listeners why the prices of goods at local shops and street markets were climbing higher. Perón noted that inflation was a worldwide problem in the postwar period, but he condemned in particular the “egotism, greediness, lack of human solidarity, and absence of patriotism” of certain Argentine business owners. “They are the ones,” the president exclaim…
What the People Want: State Planning and Political Participation in Peronist Argentina, 1946-1955
This study examines an episode in the social history of state planning by focusing on the 1951 Peronist letter writing campaign. Perón's request for popular suggestions to the Second Five-Year Plan was met with enthusiasm from men and women across Argentina. As with other cases of state planning in the postwar world, the Peronist model of planned progress inspired many popular sector individuals and organisations, in part by offering them an inti…
