Summary

In this original study, Jorge A. Nallim chronicles the decline of liberalism in Argentina during the volatile period between two military coups--the 1930 overthrow of Hipolito Yrigoyen and the deposing of Juan Peron in 1955. While historians have primarily focused on liberalism in economic or political contexts, Nallim instead documents a wide range of locations where liberalism was claimed and ultimately marginalized in the pursuit of individual agendas. While critics have positioned the rhetoric of liberalism during this period as one of decadence or irrelevance, Nallim instead shows it to be a vital and complex factor in the metamorphosis of modern history in Argentina and Latin America as well.
