ARGENTINA: A MODERN HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码： 06545012B53839

English Summary/英文概要： In the early 20th century, Argentina possessed one of the world’s most prosperous economies, yet since then Argentina has suffered a series of boom-and-bust cycles that have seen it fall well behind its regional neighbors. At the same time, despite the lack of significant ethnic or linguistic divisions, Argentina has failed to create an over-arching post-independence national identity and its political and social history has been marred by frictions, violence and a 50-year series of military coups d’état. In this book, Jill Hedges analyses of the modern history of Argentina from the adoption of the 1853 constitution until the present day, exploring political, economic ,and social aspects of Argentina’s recent past in a study which will be invaluable for anyone interested in South American history and politics.

‘Absorbing and lucid account of a country that turns out to be both less and much more mysterious than it seems.’ – Michael Kerrigan, Scotsman

Jill Hedges tells the story of Argentina clearly.

This is a concise, well-informed, and highly readable one-volume history. – Laurence Whitehead, Nuffield College, Oxford
