In collecting hundreds of letters to Juan and Eva by everyday
people as well as from correspondence solicited by Juan Peron, this
book promotes a view that charismatic bonds in Argentina have been
formed as much by Argentines as by their leaders, demonstrating how
letter writing at that time instilled a sense of nationalism and
unity, particularly during the first Five Year Plan campaign
conducted in 1946. It goes beyond the question of how charisma
influenced elections and class affiliation to address broader
implications. The letters offer a new methodology to study the
formation of charisma in literate countries where not just
propaganda and public media but also private correspondence defined
and helped shape political policies. Focusing on the first era of
Peronism, from 1946 to 1955, this work shows how President Peron
and the First Lady created charismatic ways to link themselves to
Argentine supporters through letter writing.
This is a new release of the original 1932 edition.

A study of prostitution necessarily examines questions of power,
class, gender, and public health. In "Sex and Danger in Buenos
Aires" these questions combine with particular force. During most
of the time covered in this provocative book, from the late
nineteenth century well into the twentieth, prostitution was legal
in Argentina. Fears and anxieties concerning the effect of female
sexual commerce on family and nation were rampant.
Donna J. Guy looks at many aspects of the debate that followed an
escalating demand for prostitutes by Argentines and European
immigrants. She discusses the widespread fear of white slavery, the
merits of medically supervised municipal houses of prostitution,
the rights of local governments to restrict the civil liberties of
citizens and foreigners, the censorship of literature and music
dealing with the plight of prostitutes, and the potential
criminality of unsupervised working women who might abandon their
families. Guy also describes attempts to deal with female
prostitution: rehabilitation, modifications of municipal bordello
laws, and medical programs to prevent the spread of venereal
disease. She makes clear that the treatment of "marginal" women by
liberal politicians and doctors helped promoted policies of
repression and censorship that would later be extended to other
unacceptable social groups. Her study of how both local and
national government in Argentina dealt with these women reveals
important links between gender, politics, and economics.
In this pathbreaking history, Donna J. Guy shows how feminists,
social workers, and female philanthropists contributed to the
emergence of the Argentine welfare state through their advocacy of
child welfare and family-law reform. From the creation of the
government-subsidized Society of Beneficence in 1823, women were at
the forefront of the child-focused philanthropic and municipal
groups that proliferated first to address the impact of
urbanization, European immigration, and high infant mortality
rates, and later to meet the needs of wayward, abandoned, and
delinquent children. Women staffed child-centered organizations
that received subsidies from all levels of government. Their
interest in children also led them into the battle for female
suffrage and the campaign to promote the legal adoption of
children. When Juan Peron expanded the welfare system during his
presidency (1946-1955), he reorganized private charitable
organizations that had, until then, often been led by elite and
immigrant women.
Drawing on extensive research in Argentine archives, Guy reveals
significant continuities in Argentine history, including the rise
of a liberal state that subsidized all kinds of women's and
religious groups. State and private welfare efforts became more
organized in the 1930s and reached a pinnacle under Juan Peron,
when men took over the welfare state and philanthropic and feminist
women's influence on child-welfare activities and policy declined.
Comparing the rise of Argentina's welfare state with the
development of others around the world, Guy considers both why
women's child-welfare initiatives have not received more attention
in historical accounts and whether the welfare state emerges from
the top down or from the bottom up.
"White Slavery and Mothers Alive and Dead" brings together a
diverse set of essays exploring topics ranging from public health
and child welfare to criminality and industrialization. What the
essays have in common is their gendered connection to work, family,
and the rise of increasingly interventionist nation-states in Latin
America, and particularly in Argentina.
Donna J. Guy first looks at Latin American women from a general and
international perspective. She explores which paradigms are most
useful in studying gender history in Latin America. She also
addresses the evolution of the Pan-American Child Congresses as
well as the politics of Pan-American cooperation in relation to
child welfare issues. Later essays focus on Argentina in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Guy looks at how women were
affected by systems of forced labor, and she illuminates changes in
the concept of patria potestad, or the right of male heads of
households to control family members' labor. Other essays address
such issues as public health, white slavery, and public notions of
motherhood in Argentina.
The Spanish empire in the Americas spanned two continents and a
vast diversity of peoples and landscapes. Yet intriguing parallels
characterized conquest, colonization, and indigenous resistance
along its northern and southern frontiers, from the role played by
Jesuit missions in the subjugation of native peoples to the
emergence of livestock industries, with their attendant cowboys and
gauchos and threats of Indian raids. In this book, nine historians,
three anthropologists, and one sociologist compare and contrast
these fringes of New Spain between 1500 and 1880, showing that in
each region the frontier represented contested ground where
different cultures and polities clashed in ways heretofore little
understood. The contributors reveal similarities in Indian-white
relations, military policy, economic development, and social
structure; and they show differences in instances such as the
emergence of a major urban center in the south and the activities
of rival powers. The authors also show how ecological and
historical differences between the northern and southern frontiers
produced intellectual differences as well. In North America, the
frontier came to be viewed as a land of opportunity and a crucible
of democracy; in the south, it was considered a spawning ground of
barbarism and despotism. By exploring issues of ethnicity and
gender as well as the different facets of indigenous resistance,
both violent and nonviolent, these essays point up both the
vitality and the volatility of the frontier as a place where power
was constantly being contested and negotiated.
