Reviews

"Makes an important contribution to the growing scholarship on the interwar years in Argentina. . . . Tossounian effectively displays how gender, popular culture, and consumption were at the center of social, political, and cultural debates on Argentine national identity from the 1920s to the early 1940s."--The Americas: A Quarterly Review of Latin American History "Tossounian, by dealing with changing gender practices and representations, female work and consumption, feminism, mass culture, and nationalism, speaks to scholars of interwar-period social and cultural history in Argentina and elsewhere. . . . Raises thought-provoking questions about how state-sponsored cultural policies and images of the nation intertwined with mass-produced representations of the culture industry."--Hispanic American Historical Review "Tossounian's work should be read alongside those of other prominent scholars of gender and nationalism in Argentina."--Bulletin of Spanish Studies
