Very diverse and analytical,

This review is from: Buenos Aires: Perspectives on the City and Cultural Production (Hardcover)
I really found this work to be intriguing as an insightful commentary on present-day Argentine culture and society. The broad selection of topics addressed by Foster reflects the diversity of cultural themes that define Argentina and its porteño citizens. The Dirty War, Mafalda, and the role of public performance protest are all addressed in a scholarly fashion - allowing for a discussion of popular culture in a unique and academic format. I recommend this book to anyone with a base knowledge of Argentine culture and history interested in examining at a closer level of investigation the social/political components of recent Argentine cultural development.
