Region and Nation - Politics, Economy and Society in Twentieth Century Argentina (Hardcover)

The study of 20th-century Argentine history is undergoing a radical transformation. Both Argentine and US historians of Argentina are recasting the great debates in the historiography by challenging the Buenos Aires-centered focus of most of the existing historical scholarship and offering a new perspective on the country’s modern history. Argentina’s supposed “exceptionalism” is being challenged by these historians. The persistence of political clientilism and oligarchic rule, enclave economies and pre-capitalist social relations, the role of traditional institutions such as the Church and family, intense class conflict and working class militancy, all approximate Argentina closer to the Latin American experience than the previous historiography would suggest. This book is a unique collaboration between Argentine and US historians of this “other Argentina.”
