Patricia Juarez-Dappe, When Sugar Ruled: Economy and Society in Northwestern Argentina, Tucuman, 1876-1916

摘要

This gem of a book promises to become the authoritative social history of the sugar industry in Tucuman, Argentina, during its great boom time from 1876 to 1916. English-language scholars have scarcely trodden this territory in the last thirty years, since Donna Guy's Argentine Sugar Politics: Tucumdn and the Generation of Eighty (Center for Latin American Studies, Arizona State, 1980) and John Kirchner's Sugar and Seasonal Labor Migration: The Case of Tucumdn, Argentina (Chicago, 1980).
