Reviews
In this book, James Cane examines one of the most controversial aspects of Juan Peron s government in the 1940s and 1950s: his control of the press. Peron s strategy, Cane convincingly argues, was actually the culmination of political practices initiated in the 1930s and of a process triggered by the modernization of the printed press. This is a significant contribution to Argentine cultural and political history. Ariel de la Fuente, Purdue University

It explores how the very notion of `the press' became an object of political contestation in mid-twentieth-century Argentina and, in so doing, forces us to reconsider familiar debates over freedom of expression and state censorship. This fascinating historical study provides the basis for a deeper understanding of present-day controversies over populism and media regulation in Latin America. -Eduardo Elena, University of Miami
