’Lauren Rea’s discussion of three sets of radio serials offers an original and convincing perspective from which to review Argentina’s nation-building programme. Intelligently conceived and cogently argued, this is a work of the highest merit.' Evelyn Fishburn, University College London, UK 'This book significantly deepens our understanding of the way radio intersected with its local environment ... Argentine Serialised Radio Drama is a well-crafted, engaging, and valuable contribution to Latin American radio history ...' Hispanic American Historical Review 'Lauren Rea ... subjects the three sets of texts to a narrative analysis that reaches back into time and deep into the nineteenth century. By means of a close reading of the scripts themselves and the literary and wider cultural traditions that informed them, she seeks to show that these programmes engaged in a long-standing and intricate debate about Argentine nationhood.' Journal of Latin American Studies 'Rea's work is a model of intelligent cultural studies and represents well the potential of Ashgate's recently inaugurated series on New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies.' Bulletin of Spanish Studies
