The decline of child stunting in 122 countries
INTRODUCTION: Child stunting, a measure of malnutrition, is a major global health challenge affecting 148.1 million children in 2022. Global stunting rates have declined from 47.2% in 1985 to 22.3% in 2022; however, trends before the mid-1980s are unclear, including whether child stunting was previously prevalent in current high-income countries (HICs). We conducted a systematic review of child growth studies before 1990 to reconstruct historical…

Revisitando El nacimiento de la penitenciaría en América Latina veinte años despues
En El nacimiento de la penitenciaría en América Latina (1996) presentamos el surgimiento de la «prisión moderna» latinoamericana entre 1830 y 1940. Además de revisitar aquel libro, este trabajo pretende brindar un panorama de los trabajos recientes sobre el tema. Importantes libros han analizado el funcionamiento de cárceles en México, Chile, Perú, Argentina, Brasil, entre otros. Algunos han puesto de relieve el tema de la vida en la cárcel desde…
Una búsqueda infructuosa de justicia
Este artículo examina, desde una perspectiva subalternista, los juicios por estupro en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina durante la Era del Progreso (1870-1920). Siguiendo la línea de Ranajit Guha, el estudio sintetiza los “aspectos elementales” de la violencia sexual a las niñas. Para ello, trato de identificar cómo las prácticas judiciales terminaban generando obstáculos que perjudicaban el acceso a la justicia para las víctimas. La ausen…
José Carlos Chiaramonte (1931-2024)
José Carlos Chiaramonte was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Argentine historians of the twentieth century. Born on December 3, 1931, in Arroyo Seco, Santa Fe Province, he spent his childhood in this small countryside town, surrounded by cultivated fields and open land. At age ten his father died, and the family moved to live with his grandmother in Rosario, where he finished his elementary and secondary education at the Escuela Normal Mar…
Disciplinando mediante la pena capital
Durante el gobierno de Juan M. de Rosas (1829-1852), la pena de muerte fue utilizada para disciplinar soldados del ejército federal. La amenaza de muerte por fusilamiento sirvió para amedrentar a aquellos que contemplaban abandonar las filas del ejército. Estos espectáculos de muerte fueron presenciados principalmente por los oficiales, suboficiales y soldados de cada cuartel o regimiento. Las normas disciplinarias, incluyendo las acciones penada…

Empleo público, salarios y carrera burocrática. La burocracia estatal argentina a comienzos de la Era del Progreso
En este ensayo, examinamos la burocracia estatal argentina en las últimas décadas del siglo XIX, utilizando el Censo de Funcionarios Públicos de 1893.Investigamos las estructuras del empleo público en términos de género, origen nacional, edad, destrezas, experiencia y salarios. En 1893, Argentina ya había ingresado en un proceso de modernización. El estado militar de la post independencia evolucionó hacia estructuras más modernas, ligada a la pro…
La niñez desviada
This carefully researched and well-written volume addresses the condition and treatment of abandoned and delinquent children in Buenos Aires city during the belle epoque's height. Street children during this time attracted the attention of all sorts of commentators, and two key actors in particular, the city police and the juvenile public defenders, influenced their lives. What was paradoxical, Claudia Freidenraij claims, is that both abandoned a…

Stunting Rates in a Food-Rich Country
Little is known about the effects of malnutrition rates in the long-run. Applying the methodology recommended by the World Health Organization, this study estimates stunting rates for Argentine adult males from the 1850s to the 1950s. We use five large samples of army recruits, prison inmates, militiamen, and electoral records totaling 84,500 cases. These samples provide information about height in Buenos Aires province and the Pampa region, the …

Net Nutrition Inequality in Argentina, 1875–1950
Using the coefficient of variations for heights, this paper examines the evolution of net nutrition inequality in Argentina from 1875 to 1950. It uses various samples of recruits and soldiers, previously gathered by the author. Evidence points to two important findings: (a) export-led growth led to stable or declining net-nutrition inequality; while import-substituting industrialisation generated significant net nutrition inequality; and (b) the …

M auricio T enorio -T rillo . Latin America
Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo’s Latin America: The Allure and Power of an Idea examines the persistence of the idea of Latin America—an idea that should have withered away long ago, together with the obsolescence of racial theory. Through many metamorphoses, this nineteenth-century idea has survived into the present and still shapes the institutional study of the Americas. Two intellectual and political currents rooted in preoccupations about empire an…

On Knowledge Asymmetries and Cognitive Maps:Reconsidering Hemispheric American Studies1 Ricardo D. Salvatore In this essay, I call attention to two important overlooked dimensions in Hemispheric Studies: the question of the asymmetries in knowledge-production across the Americas, and the amnesia about pre-existing cognitive maps of Latin America. In relation to the first problem, I discuss the concentration of materials from Latin America (artifa…
Progress and Backwardness in Book Accumulation
The essay examines the conditions of book accumulation in two places in the world economy, California and Peru, through the narratives left by book collector Hubert Bancroft and librarian and historian Jorge Basadre. A reading of these reveals the complex interrelations between socioeconomic development and cultural accumulation. In California, Bancroft turned his fortune accumulated through business into a unique book collection and this, in tur…
Imperial Revisionism
During the period 1915–1945, United States historians contributed important revisions to the subfield of colonial Hispanic American History. Their histories argued for a reconsideration of inherited wisdom about the Spanish colonial empire, in issues of justice towards indigenous peoples, the interoceanic book trade, colonial universities, the Crown’s mercantilist policies, and the penetration of Enlightenment ideas in the Indies. This article re…

The Normalization of Economic Life
This essay examines the cultural impact of the market transition in Buenos Aires during the so-called golden age (ca. 1890–1913), when Argentina experienced a process of export-led growth, centered on agriculture and livestock. The international mobility of labor and capital resources, in a context of an expanding frontier, facilitated rapid and important gains in productivity. By the turn of the century, a model of accumulation based on mass imm…
Repertoires of Coercion and Market Culture in Nineteenth-Century Buenos Aires Province
During the post-Independence period, Buenos Aires province engaged in a republican-authoritarian experiment in which the relations between dominant and subaltern were altered and redefined. The ascent to power of Juan Manuel de Rosas and the federalists meant an increase in the violence meted out by the state against its political and military opponents. On the other hand, the diffusion of a market economy created the basis of contractual relatio…

The Strength of Markets in Latin America's Sociopolitical Discourse, 1750-1850
In The Passions and the Interests, A. 0. Hirschman traces the origin of the Smithian doctrine of private vices and public virtues to a crucial transition in political discourse, the point where interests replaced as the main motivating force of human interaction (Hirschman, 1977). Gradually, the search for a rational subject whose actions would lead to good government reinforced the Renaissance disillusionment about the power of philosophy and mo…
The Unsettling Location of a Settler Nation
The international location of Argentina-its "place" in the scale of "progress and civilization" designed by European industrialized nations-has been shifting since the consolidation of the nation-state in 1880. Viewed as a successful settler economy by North American travelers and businessmen at the beginning of the twentieth century (as a "land of opportunity"), Argentina came to represent all the institutional and character flaws associated wit…
Library accumulation and the emergence of Latin American studies
During the age of Pan-Americanism (1890–1940), US universities built impressive collections of books, periodicals, government papers, and manuscripts relating to Latin America. Collectors showed great interest in documents and books of the early Spanish colonial period, and they also gathered materials that could help account for the contemporary progress of Latin American societies. Implicit in these early library collections was the assumption …
Yankee Advertising in Buenos Aires
In an effort to assess the question of Americanization in a South-American modern context, this article examines the activities of American advertising company J. Walter Thompson in Buenos Aires (1928–1935). This appears as an instance of the early exportation of American advertising know-how to South America and also of the production of new knowledge about the region's consumer markets. Although advertising men carried to Buenos Aires the assum…

Criminology, Prison Reform, and the Buenos Aires Working Class
Criminology, Prison Reform, and the Buenos Aires Working Class Between 900o and 1920, positivist criminologists introduced important reforms into the Argentine prison system. Influenced by the work of Jose Ingenieros, who redefined crime as a moral-social-psychological pathology that could be treated and cured, a new group of experts and prison administrators organized the transformation of old repressive prisons into experimental clinics for the…
Modes of Labor Control in Cattle-Ranching Economies
The ranching economies of California, southern Brazil, and Argentina resorted to different mechanisms of labor control in order to meet the growing demand for their products. Each area used different combinations of slave and wage labor as well as sharecropping arrangements, and these varied over time. I argue that this diversity cannot be explained by differences in the regions' modes of production or relative factor endowments. An alternative i…

North American Travel Narratives and the Ordering/Othering of South America (c. 1810-1860)
During the post-independence period, North American authors of travel narratives engaged in a double construction of "South America": the othering typical of other travel narratives and the ordering of the diversity of the region's societies, economies and polities according to gender, racial, and class categories. Describing social and institutional landscapes, authors projected preoccupations common to the expansive cultures of North America in…

The Making of a Hemispheric Intellectual-Statesman
Leo S. Rowe, before becoming director of the Pan-American Union, came to Argentina to gather information, connect with local intellectuals, and disseminate the basic ideas of an emerging inter-American system of cultural and intellectual cooperation that would be the backbone of Pan-Americanism. This paper deals with the interaction and communication between the Hemispheric Intellectual-Statesman and its local counterparts, focusing on the dynami…

The Old Problem of Gauchos and Rural Society
Debate, although more often oblique than direct, more often expressed orally than committed to paper, is the stuff of scholarship. It clarifies the issues. It challenges scholars to brighten their imagery, reevaluate their evidence, and sharpen their analysis. Jorge Gelman's thoughtful objections to our article on rural workers promises such a controversy, and on unique terms. Unlike previous disagreements, Gelman and we have analyzed the very sa…

Wandering Paysanos
A pioneering examination of the experiences of peasants and peons, or paysanos, in the Buenos Aires province during Juan Manuel de Rosas's regime (1829-1852), Wandering Paysanos is one of the first studies to consider Argentina's history from a subalternist perspective. The distinguished Argentine historian Ricardo D. Salvatore situates the paysanos as mobile job seekers within an expanding, competitive economy as he highlights the points of cont…
Stature, Nutrition, and Regional Convergence
During the so-called long delay of Argentine economic development, the northwest region experienced a sustained improvement in its health and nutrition status, as indicated by new evidence on heights. Within the region, there was internal convergence in average stature: differences in heights grew smaller over time between the provinces of Santiago del Estero, Tucumán, Catamarca, Salta, and Jujuy. In relation to Buenos Aires, the northwest region…

Seeking Nazis among Good Neighbors
During the period 1939–1945, a significant number of Germans residing in Latin America suspected of being sympathizers of the Nazis were arrested and deported to the United States. Searching to eradicate the “Nazi menace” from its own area of influence (Latin America), the United States conducted a series of illegal detentions that, in the end, contributed to undermining the credibility of the Good Neighbor Policy. By violating the sovereignty of…
