Recenzii
'This volume brings a new perspective to an important yet neglected aspect of the study of race in the Americas. The contributors carry readers beyond the perception that African and Indigenous Argentines were erased from the construction of national identity. Instead, they show the prevalence of constructions of Africanness, Criollo/Mestizo identity, or the identities of immigrants who were not Christian or not from Europe, to offer fresh insights about state formation, regionalism, leisure, immigration, popular culture and politics.' Jerry Dávila, University of Illinois
'The editors of Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina are to be commended for bringing a new generation of scholars and scholarship on Argentina to academic readers. This book is extremely important for its new approaches to the study of the many peoples who define themselves as Argentine. This volume will stimulate debate among professional scholars and will be of great interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in Latin American history.' Jeffrey Lesser, Emory University, Atlanta
'The relationship between race and nation continues to be a major theme in Latin American studies, and Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina will help instructors and students explore the interactions and tensions between the symbolic dimensions of 'race' and its role as an unstable signifier for specific populations. The excellent essays in this book will definitively bring Argentina into the larger conversation about race and nation in the region.' Barbara Weinstein, New York University
