This work is a unique exploration of modern Argentina, combining
narrative historical chapters with a reference section covering the
nation's most important cultural figures, places, and events.
Argentina: A Global Studies Handbook is a revealing look at South
America's second largest nation, providing an interdisciplinary
introduction to the country's economy, history, geography,
politics, government, society, and culture. Argentina spans over
five centuries of the nation's evolution-from the arrival of the
conquistadors through the years of revolution and independence,
from the Peron era and the often difficult post-Peron
transitioning, to the surprising success of current president
Nestor Kirchner. The book features both narrative chapters on the
country's history and culture, and a reference section with
alphabetically organized entries on important people, places,
events, and more. There is no better place to begin an
investigation of Argentine society and culture, its rich artistic
traditions and volatile politics, and the dramatic history that
shaped the nation as it is today. Includes maps of early colonial
trade routs between Spain and South America, major Argentine cities
and provinces, and the topography of Argentina, as well as
photographs of early immigrants, the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo,
and famous Argentines like Evita Peron Offers a chronology from the
days of early Spanish exploration to recent events like the fall of
the De la Rua administration and the presidency of Nestor Kirchner
