This book analyzes the relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class from the foundation of the Peronist movement in the mid 1940s to the overthrow of Peron's widow in 1976. It presents an account of such crucial issues as the role of the Peronist union bureaucracy and the impact of the Peronist ideology on workers. Drawing on a variety of untapped sources, Daniel James confronts many of the dominant myths that have surrounded the movement. He argues that its role in containing working-class militancy cannot be explained solely in terms of manipulation, corruption, or union gangsterism. "Daniel James offers us a fascinating exploration into the enigmas of Argentine Peronism as he disentangles that most perplexing phenomenon, the post-1955 Peronist labor movement...This work makes a major contribution to our understanding of Peronism and recent Argentine history." David Tamarin, American Historical Review A solidly researched, persuasive study of the Argentine labour movement which analyses the relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class.
