The Creation of Modern Buenos Aires
The Creation of Modern Buenos Aires examines the impact of civic associations on the culture and the society of Buenos Aires and their ties to politics in the first decades of the twentieth century. The period saw the emergence of the modern political system with true appeals to the voters, tremendous urban growth, and the solidification of a barrio identity. Historian Joel Horowitz examines four types of organizations: football clubs, bibliotecas populares (popular libraries), sociedades de fomento (development societies that pushed for barrio improvements), and universidades populares (popular universities that provided practical training beyond the primary school level). All four types be...
The Crisis of Argentine Capitalism
At the end of World War II, Argentina was the most industrialized nation in Latin America, with a highly urbanized, literate, and pluralistic society. But over the past four decades, the country has suffered political and economic crises of increasing intensity that have stalled industrial growth, sharpened class conflict, and led to long periods of military rule. In this book, Paul Lewis attempts to explain how that happened. Lewis begins by describing the early development of Argentine industry, from just before the turn of the century to the eve of Juan Peron's rise to power after World War II. He discusses the emergence of the new industrialists and urban workers and delineates the relat...
Historias de corceles y de acero (de 1810 a 1824)
¿Cómo era la Argentina entre 1810 y 1824? Hay un montón de sucesos ocultos en los años posteriores a la Revolución de Mayo. Hechos inéditos que no aparecen en los libros tradicionales de historia. Daniel Balmaceda observa la historia desde otro lugar, con otros puntos de vista, fomentando el interés sin perder rigor. En este libro nos invita a atravesar, junto a Moreno, la recova de la plaza en una noche solitaria; y a enterarnos de cuánto ganaban y dónde vivían nuestros próceres; quién terminó usando el sable que empleó San Martín en San Lorenzo, o cómo fue la guerra de peinados entre las jovencitas de 1817.
Cousins and Strangers
"Moya commands not only the statistical sources but the literary and folklorical ones as well, weaving them in a history that is both analytical and narrative...A superb book that will be a standard monument, not only for Spanish migration and Argentine history, but for migration history in general." Walter Nugent, University of Notre Dame "A major achievement, it represents a vast, comprehensive research effort on two continents, using a world-wide background literature and a stunning array of research techniques, all well integrated, on a topic of large scope and significance. The entire enterprise is watched over by an acute, curious, lively mind in notable equilibrium and equanimity, bri...

The gripping story of Afro-Argentine celebrity Raúl Grigera that also tells the untold history of Black Argentina.
Enemy in the Blood
Enemy in the Blood: Malaria, Environment, and Development in Argentina examines the dramatic yet mostly forgotten history of malaria control in northwest Argentina. Carter traces the evolution of malaria science and policy in Argentina from the disease’s emergence as a social problem in the 1890s to its effective eradication by 1950. Malaria-control proponents saw the campaign as part of a larger project of constructing a modern identity for Argentina. Insofar as development meant building a more productive, rational, and hygienic society, the perceptions of a culturally backwards and disease-ridden interior prevented Argentina from joining the ranks of “modern” nations. The path to er...
Un maldito Derecho
Esta obra aborda la emergencia de un problema nacido al calor de la revolución que llevó a la independencia: ¿qué es derecho?, ¿qué es lo justo?, ¿cómo organizar una justicia para una república? Aquí se da cuenta de las discusiones y ensayos que se generaron en torno a principios y mecanismos judiciales; el derecho como ley positiva, la codificación, el juez como “esclavo de la ley”, la igualdad ante la ley, el juez “natural”, los juzgados letrados, los juicios por jurado, entre otras. Candioti dialoga con las diversas capas arqueológicas de una historiografía que se ocupó del tema y ofrece una clave de lectura original basada en la exploración de numerosos y variados ...
