Description: "A well-constructed and readable encyclopedic treatment of Argentine culture.  Arranged in three chronological sections, the book's various chapters cover architecture, literature, the plastic arts, the sciences, education, medicine, philosophy, theater, music, journalism, historiography, and folklore.  Coverage is weakest on the post-1960 period (the author tends to discount the contribution of nontraditional artists and scholars, and to ignore that of individuals like Ernesto J. A. Maeder and Carlos Sempat Assadourian, whose ouevre was produced outside of Buenos Aires)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 761-783) and index.
