“An outstanding book. The subject of the captive is deeply embedded in the Argentine imagination, and Carlos Riobó reveals its every nuance, from nineteenth-century myths of national racial purity to the re-identification of all its components during the Perón era. A book like this can only be the product of a great teacher who has labored to make his subject attractive to undergraduates. With this book Riobó has established a niche for himself: it sets a professional standard.”—Alfred Mac Adam, professor of Spanish at Barnard College, Columbia University
