Chapter 9: Argentina<\/strong><\/p>\n

An understanding of nineteenth-century Argentina must first focus on the influential role of liberalism, which receives imaginative treatment in Nicholas Shumway, The Invention of Argentina<\/em> (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1991). In Republic of Capital: Buenos Aires and the Legal Transformation of the Atlantic World<\/em> (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1999), Jeremy Adelman revises notions that Buenos Aires oversaw a failed national economy in the nineteenth century. The regional differences embedded in the disputes over nation-building are presented in Ariel de la Fuente, Children of Facundo: Caudillo and Gaucho Insurgency During the Argentine State Formation Process (La Rioja, 1853\u20131870<\/em>) (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2000).<\/p>\n

David Rock has produced a detailed political and historical narrative in Argentina, 1516\u2013 1982: From Spanish Colonization to the Falklands War<\/em> (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1985). For contemporary history see Luis Alberto Romero, A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century<\/em> (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2002). The important role of Italian immigrants is given a fresh examination in Samuel L. Baily, Immigrants in the Lands of Promise<\/em> (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1999), while Jos\u00e9 C. Moya has produced an equally outstanding comprehensive study of Spanish immigrants in Cousins and Strangers: Spanish Immigrants in Buenos Aires, 1850\u20131930<\/em> (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998). The best account of the largest Jewish community in Latin America is Haim Avni, Argentina and the Jews: A History of Jewish Immigration<\/em> (Tuscaloosa: University of Alabama Press, 1991). An early study of gender and sexuality in Argentina is Donna J. Guy, Sex & Danger in Buenos Aires: Prostitution, Family, and Nation in Argentina<\/em> (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 1991). In his outstanding transnational analysis, Federico Finchelstein examines Italian fascism and its counterparts in Argentina in\u00a0Transatlantic Fascism: Ideology, Violence and ht esacred in Argentina and Italy, 1919-1945\u00a0<\/em>(Durham: Duke University Press, 2010).<\/p>\n

Gerardo della Paolerma and Alan M. Taylor, A New Economic History of Argentina<\/em> (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 2003) offers a sophisticated and up-to-date economic history of modern Argentina. The all-important agrarian sector is treated in Peter H. Smith,\u00a0Politics and Beef in Argentina: Patterns of Conflict and Change\u00a0<\/em>(New York: Columbia University Press, 1969); Samuel Amaral, The Rise of Capitalism on the Pampas: The Estancias of Buenos Aires, 1785\u20131870<\/em> (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 1999); Roy Hora, The Landowners of the Argentine Pampas: A Social and Political History, 1860\u20131945<\/em> (New York: Oxford University Press, 2001); and roberto Cort\u00e9s Conde, The Political Economy of Argentina in the Twentieth Century\u00a0<\/em>(New York: Cambridge University Press,2 009). \u00a0For the more recent period, see Felipe A. M. de la Balze, Remaking the Argentine Economy<\/em> (New York: Council on Foreign Relations Press, 1995). Studies on the recent wave of economic crises in Argentina are explored in Barbara Sutton,\u00a0Bodies in Crisis: Culture, Violence,and Women’s Resistance in Neoliberal Argentina\u00a0<\/em>(New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press, 2010) and Maurizio Atzeni,\u00a0Workplace Conflict: Mobilization and Solidarity in Argentina\u00a0<\/em>(Basingstoke, NY: Palgrave Macmillan,201<\/p>\n

Among the best histories of the labor movement and populism are Daniel James,\u00a0Resistance and Integration: Peronism and the Argentine Working Class, 1946\u20131976<\/em> (Cambridge, U.K., and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1988); James P. Brennan, The Labor Wars in C\u00f3rdoba, 1955\u20131976: Ideology, Work, and Labor Politics in an Argentine Industrial City<\/em> (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1994); Raanan Rein, In the Shadow of Per\u00f3n: Juan Atilio Bramuglia and the Second Line of Argentina’s Populist Movement<\/em> (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2008); and Gerardo L. Munck, Authoritarianism and\u00a0Democratization: Soldiers and Workers in Argentina, 1976\u20131983<\/em> (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1998). Mark A. Healey examines the origins of Peronism in The Ruins of the New Argentina: Peronism and the Remaking of San Juan after the 1944 Earthquake<\/em> (Durham: Duke University Press, 2011), while Eduardo Elena studies the ways in which Peronism won support among Argentines in Dignifying Argentina: Peronism, Citizenship, and Mass Consumption<\/em> (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 2011).\u00a0Daniel James interrogates the authenticity of oral history in Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda\u2019s Story: Life History, Memory, and Political Identity<\/em> (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2000). The ongoing effects of Peronism are analyzed in James W. McGuire, Peronism without Per\u00f3n: Unions, Parties, and Democracy in Argentina<\/em> (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 1997).<\/p>\n

One of the most persistent questions about Argentina is why such an economically developed country has been plagued by authoritarian regimes since 1945. The horrors of repression under the military government are given a stunning analysis in Diana Taylor, Disappearing Acts: Spectacles of Gender and Nationalism in Argentina\u2019s \u201cDirty War\u201d<\/em> (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 1997). A firsthand account of the killing under the military can be found in Horacio Verbitsky, The Flight: Confessions of an Argentine Dirty Warrior<\/em> (New York: New Press, 1996). The movement to reveal human rights abuses is documented in\u00a0<\/em>Emiiio Crenzel,\u00a0Memory\u00a0of the Argentina Disappearances: The Political History of Nunca M\u00e1s<\/em> (New York: Routledge, 2012). Marguerite Feitlowitz analyzes the longterm effects of state repression in\u00a0A Lexicon of Terror: Argentina and the Legacies of Torture\u00a0<\/em>(New York, Oxford UNiversity Press, 2011).<\/p>\n

The ambivalent connection between the United States and Argentina is examined in Joseph S. Tulchin, Argentina and the United States: A Conflicted Relationship<\/em> (Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1990); Deborah L. Norden and Roberto Russell, The United States and Argentina: Changing Relations in a Changing World<\/em> (New York: Routledge, 2002); and David M. K. Sheinin, Argentina and the United States: An Alliance Contained<\/em> (Athens, Ga.: University of Georgia Press, 2006).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
