Peronism and Argentina

Peronism and Argentina examines the history, origins, and present-day directions of Peronism. Written from an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume includes contributions from historians, political scientists, and sociologists. Peronism and Argentina explores how this movement has been interpreted by intellectuals and how it has influenced Argentine politics and civil society over the last half-century. Provocative essays on the intellectual debate surrounding Peronism clarify many misconceptions about its nature and bring the reader to the present Peronist government under Carlos Menem.
