Recenzje

'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
