The proposed readership for this publication consists of undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working on contemporary Argentinian culture and race in Latin America. It can also appeal to scholars who are researching on neoliberalism and crisis in a broader sense. Given that it is written in a simple way and it does not make heavy use of quoting or theory, it could appeal to a wider readership outside academia.
