Beskrivning

"Domingo Sarmiento is a rhetorical and political giant whose garrulous, colorful, and troubling ideas about race, violence, politics, and literature have fascinated Spanish-language readers for over a hundred and fifty years. Thanks to William Acree's brilliant selection of writings and annotations, the sparkling translations of John Charles Chasteen, and Oscar Chamosa's excellent critical Introduction, readers of English can finally encounter this larger-than-life writer who was deeply committed to documenting his historical moment and assessing social and political ills. This book is a major—and long overdue—contribution to Latin American Studies."—Christopher B. Conway, The University of Texas at Arlington

"Chasteen’s translations of Sarmiento’s writings are delightful reads. Chasteen is a master translator and shows his chops again here. The new translation of excerpts from Facundo especially captures the beauty of the original prose and reminds why—despite the morally complicated views contained therein—the work is still a canonical masterpiece of Latin American literature. Meanwhile, Acree's Preface provides a concise ‘instructor’s manual’ for how to use the text, and Chamosa’s Introduction is hands down one of the most eloquent accounts of Sarmiento’s life and its relationship to the birth and evolution of the United Provinces/Republic of Argentina ever written in English."—Michael Huner, Grand Valley State University
