Civilizing Argentina: Science, Medicine, and the Modern State by Julia Rodriguez, University of North Carolina Press, 2006

excerpt from book cover: After a promising start as a prosperous and liberal democratic nation at the end of the nineteenth century, Argentina descended into instability and crisis. This stark reversal, in a country rich in natural resources and seemingly bursting with progress and energy, has puzzled many historians. In Civilizing Argentina, Julia Rodriguez takes a sharply contrary view, demonstrating that Argentina’s turn of fortune is not a mystery but rather the ironic consequence of schemes to “civilize” the nation in the name of progressivism, health, science, and public order.
