Jagoe (U. of Toronto) provides a compelling account of life in southern Argentina, concentrating primarily on writings from Sarmiento, Mansilla, Moreno and Borges to fashion a social document of the liberal ideologies of the region. Using specific historical incidents such as the 1871 Conquest of the Desert and the Argentinian military regime in the 1970s, the author shows how geography and social identity are linked. A fascinating read for students of Argentinian culture. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
