Study on the phenomenon of the poor and poverty in Santiago city in the 19th century, and the reaction of the political and economic elite. What to do with the poor? is the provocative title of this book that is published for the first time in Chile. This was also the question posed by the Santiago elite (and Chilean in general) during much of the nineteenth century, a question that still retains all its relevance. The suggestive explanation of Luis Alberto Romero for the complex path of mentalities, images and representations of the other, opens new perspectives for the social history of Chile ...

A History of Argentina in the Twentieth Century, originally published in Buenos Aires in 1994, attained instantaneous status as a classic. Written as an introductory text for university students and the general public, it is a profound reflection on the ";Argentine dilemma"; and the challenges that the country faces as it tries to rebuild democracy. In the book, Romero painstakingly and brilliantly reconstructs and analyzes Argentina’s tortuous, often tragic modern history, from the ";alluvial society"; born of mass immigration, to the dramatic years of Juan and Eva Perón, to the recent period of military dictatorship and democracy. For this first English-language edition, Romero has written a new chapter covering the decade of the 1990s. A rare book combining great erudition with an engaging narrative, it is destined to be the standard English-language history of Argentina for many years to come. The son of Argentina’s greatest twentieth-century historian, José Luis Romero, Luis Alberto Romero has emerged as one of the leading historians of his generation in Argentina. Romero’s generation is one that has witnessed the most dramatic decades of the country’s modern history, the decline of Argentina and its descent into violence, dictatorship, and despair, but also the hopeful if often difficult process of rebuilding democracy since the mid-1980s. Combining the rigor of the professional historian with a passionate commitment to his country’s future, Romero’s work is a major contribution to our understanding of one of Latin America’s most important nations. This translation by James Brennan, himself a leading English-speaking historian of Argentina, makes this valuable book available to a wide readership in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

¿Qué hacer con los pobres? es el provocador título de este libro que se edita por primera vez en Chile. Esta fue también la pregunta que se planteó la elite santiaguina (y chilena en general) durante gran parte del siglo XIX, interrogante que sigue conservando toda su actualidad. La sugerente explicación de Luis Alberto Romero por el complejo camino de las mentalidades, de las imágenes y las representaciones del otro, abre nuevas perspectivas para la historia social de Chile...
