Beskrivning
In A History of Argentina, originally published in Spanish in 2020, Ezequiel Adamovsky presents over five hundred years of Argentine economic, political, social, and cultural history. Adamovsky highlights the experiences of women, Indigenous communities, and other groups that have traditionally been left out of the historical archive. He focuses on harmful aspects of Spanish colonization such as gender subjugation, the violence enacted in the name of the Catholic Church, the role of the economy as it shifted from the encomienda system into modern industrialization, and the devastating effects of slavery, violence, and disease brought to the region by Spanish colonizers. Adamovsky also discusses Argentina’s independence and territorial consolidation, the first democratic elections in 1916, military coups, Peronism, democratization and the neoliberal reforms of the 1980s, and many other facets of Argentine life up to the 2019 presidential election. Concise, accessible, and comprehensive, A History of Argentina is an essential guide to this nation.

“A rich and ambitious work that covers multiple historical dimensions-from economic structures and sociopolitical processes to ethnicities and sexuality-Ezequiel Adamovsky’s A History of Argentina is a magnificent contribution to the English bibliography on Argentine history. In a landscape dominated by thematic monographs focused on short time periods, Adamovsky offers a conceptually solid and narratively engaging synthesis of current scholarship encompassing the entire country’s history.” - Pablo Palomino, author of (The Invention of Latin American Music: A Transnational History) “With this translation, English readers have access to the best single-volume history of Argentina, written by one of the country’s most innovative and influential historians. Ezequiel Adamovsky draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship to highlight the experience and agency of ordinary people. Accessible to readers encountering Argentine history for the first time, this engaging account nonetheless has much to teach more experienced students and scholars; it surprises and illuminates on every page.” - Matthew B. Karush, author of (Musicians in Transit: Argentina and the Globalization of Popular Music) "A History of Argentina skillfully analyzes centuries of the country's history, beginning with the Indigenous people and polities that lived in the region before the Spanish arrived in the Americas. . . . this readable book offers a broad survey of Argentine history suitable for specialists and nonspecialists alike. Recommended. General readers through faculty; professionals." - E. C. Rothera (Choice) "Adamovsky covers the broad sweep of Argentina’s history, from its pre-Columbian Indigenous peoples to the present. He provides a detailed, nuanced portrait of the national history, and every chapter contains insightful analysis and new information, even for someone familiar with Argentina’s history." - James Brennan (Hispanic American Historical Review) "With a body of 322 pages, Adamovsky’s sweep through Argentine history is nicely paced. It is balanced. . . . this is an excellent option for those teaching a survey of Argentine history." - John W. Sherman (Journal of Global South Studies)
