El Centro Editor de America Latina, sin duda un emblema de la cultura argentina, es analizado aqui como un complejo emprendimiento que planteo una politica cultural original en sus relaciones con el mercado y el Estado.

"An overview of the history of indigenous peoples in Argentina, based mainly on secondary sources. Colonization, resistance, the 'conquest of the desert,' and the Chaco campaigns receive considerable attention"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

"The Peronist left arose in reaction to attempts to supress the movement. Ironically, its great victory, in forcing the military to accept Perón's return to power, also led to its demise. Legitimated by elections, Perón isolated and attacked his young supporters. A familiar story, but well told and documented"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
