The Patagonian Sublime provides a vivid, accessible, and
cutting-edge investigation of the green economy and New Left
politics in Argentina. Based on extensive field research in
Glaciers National Park and the mountain village of El Chalten,
Marcos Mendoza deftly examines the diverse social worlds of alpine
mountaineers, adventure trekkers, tourism entrepreneurs, seasonal
laborers, park rangers, land managers, scientists, and others
involved in the green economy. Mendoza explores the fraught
intersection of the green economy with the New Left politics of the
Nestor Kirchner and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner governments.
Mendoza documents the strategies of capitalist development,
national representation, and political rule embedded in the "green
productivist" agenda pursued by Kirchner and Fernandez. Mendoza
shows how Andean Patagonian communities have responded to the
challenges of community-based conservation, the fashioning of
wilderness zones, and the drive to create place-based monopolies
that allow ecotourism destinations to compete in the global
consumer economy.
