Ma-ana es San Per-n: A Cultural History of Per-n's Argentina (Latin American Silhouettes)

The regime of Juan PerÃ³n is one of the most studied topics of Argentina's contemporary history. This new bookâ€”an English translation of a highly popular, critically acclaimed Spanish language editionâ€”provides a new perspective on the intriguing Argentinian leader. Mariano Plotkin's cultural approach makes PerÃ³n's popularity understandable because it goes beyond PerÃ³n's charismatic appeal and analyzes the PerÃ³nist mechanisms used to generate political consent and mass mobilization. MaÃ±ana es San PerÃ³n is the first book to focus on the cultural and symbolic dimensions of PerÃ³nism and populism. Plotkin also presents important material for the study of populism and the modern state in this region.
MaÃ±ana es San PerÃ³n explores the creation of myths, symbols, and rituals which constituted the PerÃ³nist political imagery. This political imagery was not designed to reinforce the legitimacy of a political system defined in abstract terms, but to assure the undisputed loyalty of different sectors of society to the PerÃ³nist government and to PerÃ³n himself. The evolution of the institutional framework that made the creation of this symbolic apparatus possible is also discussed.
This well-researched book shows the methods designed by the PerÃ³nist regime to broaden its social base through the incorporation and activation of groups which had traditionally occupied a marginalized position within the political system-non-union workers, women, and the poor. Plotkin investigates how PerÃ³n used the education system to build his popularity. He examines the public assistance programs financed through the Eva PerÃ³n Foundation, and demonstrates how they were used to politicize women for the first time. He explains how Eva PerÃ³n and the PerÃ³nist regime not only tried to gain the support of women as voters but also as potential 'missionaries' who would spread the PerÃ³nist word in the privacy of their homes.
This well-written and engaging account of one of Latin America's most colorful and appealing leaders is an excellent resource on Argentina and Latin American history and politics.
