Vida, época y obra de Manuel Belgrano

"Lavishly produced biography of the Argentine who carried the patriot cause to the interior provinces, Paraguay, and Upper Peru. Includes brief, thoughtful pieces on such topics as iconography, genealogy, economic and political thought, military organization, and Belgrano's relations with women"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

This book aims at following a path of tensions, analysing the forms born by the internationalization projects Argentine art and artistic avant-gardes adopted in the sixties. The author describes the conditions that paved the way for their conception, the strategies to accomplish them, the images that best suited their representation and the antagonistic and opposing discourses, which beat the rhythm of the controversies that characterized the period.

"Examines in great detail economic policy-making during the presidency of Alfonsín. Sees the administration's ultimate failure occurring due to the attempts to make social pacts with the corporatist bodies representing labor, agriculture, and industry. Author believes that the administration lost its credibility by attempting policies that had little chance of success"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
