Book Reviews of The Argentina Reader: History, Culture, Politics (Latin America in Translation)

Book Review: The Argentina Reader
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a nice collection of historical work, including speeches, articles and poetry. The work is structured chronologically and most pieces are written by historical Argentine figures including Juan Peron, Jose de San Martin, Juan Manuel del Rosas, etc. But also folks like Che Guevara, Charles Darwin, and the National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons. Nicely done with excellent historical preambles for each Chapter and introductions for each article. The downside is at 580 page this is a rather weighty tomb and not great for the plane, more a beside reference. Excellent for those wanting a different, eclectic spin on Argentine history.
