Description
"An informative and well-written study of the Generation of 1837, whose members were instrumental in forging a modern liberal nation out of a near-empty, unorganized Argentine polity. Uses chronological approach, following the ideas and public profiles of these men through five decades of political tumult. Study is especially strong in its detailed treatment of the bitter debates and problematic relations between the various pensadores. Based not only on standard published sources, but also on archival documentation and little-known newspaper articles of the era"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
