Description: This is a study of the production, the spread and the use of understandings of national history and identity for political purposes in 20th-century Argentina. It analyses how nationalist views about what it meant to be Argentine were built into the country's long drawn-out crisis of liberal democracy from the 1930s to the 1980s.
