Abstract

This book reconsiders the relationship between race and nation in Argentina during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and places Argentina firmly in dialog with the literature on race and nation in Latin America, from where it has long been excluded or marginalized for being a white, European exception in a mixed-race region. The contributors, based both in North America and Argentina, hail from the fields of history, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. Their essays collectively destabilize widespread certainties about Argentina, showing that whiteness in that country has more in common with practices and ideologies of Mestizaje and 'racial democracy' elsewhere in the region than has typically been acknowledged. The essays also situate Argentina within the well-established literature on race, nation, and whiteness in world regions beyond Latin America (particularly, other European 'settler societies'). The collection thus contributes to rethinking race for other global contexts as well.

Abstract

When South Australia was founded in 1836, the British government was pursuing a new approach to the treatment of Aboriginal people, hoping to avoid the violence that marked earlier Australian settlement. The colony's founding Proclamation declared that as British subjects, Aboriginal people would be as much 'under the safeguard of the law as the Colonists themselves, and equally entitled to the privileges of British subjects'. But could colonial governments provide the protection that was promised? 'Out of the Silence' explores the nature and extent of violence on South Australia's frontiers i

Abstract

""In the figure of the old-time gamblin' man and cold killer, John Myers has found a subject perfectly suited to his talents and his methods. . . . The result is a solid though lively biography. . . . As for the general reader, interested in the old West, he'll eat this up and beg for more.""-San Francisco Chronicle

Abstract

This is the first anthology of its kind. It presents a comprehensive array of carefully selected primary documents, sourced from the period before, during and after the Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851. Drawing on contemporary newspapers and periodicals, the archives of the Royal Commission, diaries, journals, celebratory poems and essays, many of these documents are reproduced in their entirety, and in the same place, for the first time. The book provides an unparalleled resource for teachers and students of the Exhibition and a starting point for researchers new to the subject. Subdivided into six chapters - Origins and organisation, Display, Nation, empire and ethnicity, Gender, Class and Afterlives - it represents the current scholarly debates about the Exhibition, orientating readers with helpful, critically informed, introductions. What was the Great Exhibition and what did it mean?

Abstract

Près d'un siècle après la grande vague migratoire qui les a menés de la Méditerranée orientale à Buenos Aires et aux vallées de la Cordillère andine, les Arabes d'Argentine constituent un objet de recherche inépuisable pour les sciences sociales. La dialectique entre des politiques publiques d'intégration et les dynamiques internes d'un groupe hétérogène tant par ses appartenances confessionnelles chrétiennes ou musulmanes que par sa forte stratification sociale, a généré des formes spécifiques d'expérience, modelé les discours, voire les identités, du groupe immigré. Toute la richesse de cette expérience des Turcos originaires du Liban et de la Syrie actuels dans la société argentine se retrouve aujourd'hui dans l'exacerbation des ambiguïtés de la situation de la deuxième et de la troisième génération. Sur le mode de l'interdisciplinarité, une équipe de chercheurs argentins et français s'efforce de cerner ces ambiguïtés à partir de différentes perspectives et différentes sources, d'entretiens et d'enquêtes, de la presse "ethnique" et des archives publiques. Les stratégies identitaires des Turcos, qui vont de l'assimilation totale à la réislamisation, en disent long sur le multiculturalisme argentin, mais également sur les sociétés politiques de l'Orient arabe aujourd'hui, dont ils sont originaires.

Abstract

In this book, Roberto Cortés Conde describes and explains the decline of the Argentine economy in the twentieth century, its evolution, and its consequences. At the beginning of the century, the economy grew at a sustained rate, a modern transport system united the country, a massive influx of immigrants populated the land, and education expanded, leading to a dramatic fall in illiteracy. However, by the second half of the century, growth not only stalled, but a dramatic reversal occurred, and the perspectives in the median and long term turned negative, and growth eventually collapsed. This work of historical analysis defines the most important problems faced by the Argentine economy. Some of these problems were fundamental, while others occurred without being properly considered, but in their entirety, Cortés Conde demonstrates how they had a deleterious effect on the country.
