Origins of Argentina's Revolution of the Right

Alberto Spektorowski is professor of political science at Tel Aviv University and is co-editor of Ethnic Challenges to the Modern Nation State.

"...Spectorowski's work represents an excellent addition to the historiography. It reveals the connections between fascism and longstanding tendencies in Argentine political culture." —The Americas"After having successfully demonstrated that political ideas emerge from ideology, Spektorowski surprises us with another finding: the two wings of nationalism, with several differences discussed throughout the book, were creatively combined in an unprecedented Argentine political formula. This was the ideological background of early Peronism, whose author was not an intellectual but a politician." —Review of Politics"... first rate ... this book is easily accessible to the nonspecialist and is a welcome contribution to any graduate or undergraduate course concerning twentieth-century Latin American political developments and intellectual history." —History: Reviews of New Books"In his detailed and well-crafted intellectual history, political scientist Alberto Spektorowski seeks to illuminate this disappointing performance by reexamining the work of Argentina's nationalist ideologues of the 1930s. Spektorowski's nuanced analysis of complex texts makes this book a useful contribution." —American Historical Review"Those seeking a detailed treatment of the issues at hand will not be disappointed." —Choice
