Infos

This book traces a link between Argentina’s neoliberal crisis, race and national identity, through the analysis of how cultural products of the period challenged the dominant image of the nation as homogeneously white.

Autor

The proposed readership for this publication consists of undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working on contemporary Argentinian culture and race in Latin America. It can also appeal to scholars who are researching on neoliberalism and crisis in a broader sense. Given that it is written in a simple way and it does not make heavy use of quoting or theory, it could appeal to a wider readership outside academia.
