Despite its importance, the twentieth-century Latin American right
has received little scholarly attention. This is the first book to
explicitly compare extreme rightist organizations, ideas, and
actions in different national settings in Latin America. Hardly an
undifferentiated whole, the right in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile
has changed over time and has contained moderate and extreme
factions; the book's title, "Las Derechas," emphasizes this
diversity. The author focuses on extreme right-wing movements,
showing how their class and gender composition, motives, programs,
and activities varied over time and between countries.
To demonstrate the variety of thought and fluidity of positions
within the far right, the author brings to life the many voices it
contained: its highbrow and lowbrow figures, its male and female
exponents, and its mass-circulation periodicals and more erudite
literature. The depiction of rallies, social welfare projects, and
brutal clashes with opponents also reveals the flavor of the
radical right and the rich texture of its history. Although extreme
right-wing movements defined themselves as masculine, some
nevertheless recruited women; this is only one of the many
contradictions between their ideology and actions.
Concentrating on domestic roots, the study shows how radical
rightists incorporated local concerns, not simply European dogma,
into their agendas. It explores their relations with the military,
Catholic Church, government, labor, and other groups throughout the
political spectrum. The ties of radical rightists to moderate
rightists are of particular interest, for the ideological and
tactical differences between the two factions tended to diminish
during periods of crisis. The book concludes with an epilogue that
traces radical rightist movements up to the present, demonstrating
the importance of the analysis for understanding current conditions
as well as the past.
