This book analyses the relationship between Peronism and the
Argentine working class from the foundation of the Peronist
movement in the mid 1940s to the overthrow of Peron's widow in
1976. It presents an account of such crucial issues as the role of
the Peronist union bureaucracy and the impact of Peronist ideology
on workers. Drawing on a variety of untapped sources, Daniel James
confronts many of the dominant myths which have surrounded the
movement. He argues that its role in containing working-class
militancy cannot be explained solely in terms of manipulation,
corruption or union gangsterism. The integration of Peronism into
Argentine society has always been a complex and fragile operation,
constantly undermined by the survival of the movement's original
heretical content: its vision of a juster society in which the
claim of the working class for a recognition of its social and
political weight would be accepted.
