Description: "Short but incisive analysis of Afro-Argentine populations during and after the independence wars.  Argues that militia service provided blacks with an alternative to continued servitude, but also insured that they would be in the forefront of the fighting (and, thus, saw their numbers radically reduced by mid-century). During the Paraguayan War, Afro-Argentines continued to serve in the army, but were no longer segregated in separate units"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
