Böcker av Ricardo D. Salvatore

Examining the experiences of peasants and peons, or paysanos, in the Buenos Aires province during Juan Manuel de Rosas' dictatorial regime (1829-1852), this title covers a multiplicity of subaltern voices that speak about issues of importance for the history of post-independence Argentina: markets, legal authority, politics, and public memory.

Ricardo D. Salvatore rewrites the history of Latin American studies by tracing its roots back to the first half of the twentieth century, showing how its ties to U.S. business and foreign policy interests helped build an informal empire that supported U.S. economic, technological, and cultural hegemony throughout the hemisphere.
