Beskrivning

Although Juan Peron changed the course of modern Argentine history, scholars have often interpreted him in terms of their own ideologies and interests, rather than seeing the effect of this man and his movement had on the Argentine people. The essays in this volume seek to uncover the man behind the myth, to define the true nature of Peronism. Several chapters view Per\u00f3n's rise to power, his deposition and eighteen-year exile, and his dramatic return in 1973. Others examine: opposing forces in modern Argentina, including the church and its role in politics; the conflict between landed stancieros and urban industrialists, terrorist activities and their populist support base; Peronism and the labor movement; and Evita Per\u00f3n's role in advancing the political rights of women.

The book has a wealth of statistics and surveys' data, which make it very useful for those who intend to interpret Argentina's reality. . . . Unlike so many other scholarly books on Peronism, Juan Peron and the Reshaping of Argentina mixes a solid socio-political academic background with a well-planned and presented series of approaches to a multifaceted and difficult theme.
