Recasting the Nation in Twentieth-Century Argentina tackles the
meaning of "the nation" by looking to the geographical,
ideological, and political peripheries of society. What it means to
be Argentine has long consumed writers, political leaders, and many
others. For almost two centuries prominent figures have defined
national values while looking out from the urban centers of the
country and above all Buenos Aires. They have described the nation
in terms of urban experience and, secondarily, by surrounding
frontiers; they have focused on the country's European heritage and
advanced an entangled vision of race and space. The chapters in
this book take a dynamic new approach. While scholars and political
leaders have routinely ignored the country's many peripheries, the
Argentine nation cannot be reasonably understood without them.
Those on the margins also defined core tenets of the nation. This
volume will be vital reading for those interested in how Latin
American societies emerged over the past two centuries and for
those curious about how ideas outside of the mainstream come to
define national identities.
