Authoritarian Argentina: Nationalist Movement, Its Hist

By David Rock and David Rock

Book Overview

David Rock has written the first comprehensive study of nationalism in Argentina, a fundamentalist movement pledged to violence and a dictatorship that came to a head with the notorious "disappearances" of the 1970s. This radical, right wing movement has had a profound impact on twentieth-century Argentina, leaving its mark on almost all aspects of Argentine life-art and literature, journalism, education, the church, and of course, politics.

Good book about the developement Argentine Nationalism

David Rock informatively reviews the late 19th century and 20th Century developement of the Nationalist "Movement" in Argentina. He explores the motives behind it and the relation it had with European contemporary politicians, philosophers, and artists. This book is politics, but it also shows the influence the Nationalist ideas had on Argentine culture.
