Sport in Latin American Society
This work deals with the infancy, adolescence and maturity of sport in Latin American society. It explores ways in which sport illuminates cultural migration and emigration and indigenous assimilation and adaptation.
Women Build the Welfare State
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 ...
Tribal Identities
Sport is far more than a national and international entertainment: it is a source of political identity, morale, pride and superiority. Tribal Identities explores the influence of sport on the nations of Europe as a mechanism of national solidarity promoting a sense of identity, unity, status and esteem; as an instrument of confrontation between nations, stimulating aggression, stereotyping, and images of inferiority and superiority; and as a cultural bond linking nations across national boundaries, providing common enthusiasm, shared experiences, the transcendence of national allegiances, and opportunities for association, understanding and goodwill.
The Regulation of Boxing
This first nationwide study of boxing regulations in the United States offers an historical overview of the subject, from the earliest attempts at regulating the sport to present-day legislation that may create a national boxing commission. It examines the disparity of regulations among states, as well as the reasons for some of these differences. The work features interviews with boxing officials, analysts and boxers, and includes the results of a national survey of state athletic commission personnel. In-depth case studies of boxing regulations in Nevada and Kansas provide a close look at different states' methods, and Argentina's centralized system of regulation is presented as a comparison to the U.S. approach.

Museo del consumo
El museo es una forma del archivo, de la preservación y de la exhibición. Es también un marco dentro del cual es posible pensar prácticas culturales. Este museo del consumo y el espectáculo que presenta Graciela Montaldo propone recorridos por diferentes experiencias, relaciones e intercambios que se producen a partir de la aparición de las masas en la cultura argentina entre fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX. En efecto, en el cambio de siglo la cultura de masas es un espacio abierto donde las fronteras que separan a los diferentes sectores tienen una relativa porosidad que genera nuevas formas de intercambios simbólicos y políticos. Montaldo analiza cómo se llevan a cabo esos...
