What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Marcela Lopez Levy is among our foremost experts on Argentinean politics, and her new book offers a superbly insightful analysis of Kirchnerismo, deftly cutting through the controversies in order to clearly situate and explain its origins, achievements, and limitations. This is essential reading for anybody who wishes to understand Argentina’s recent history and will constitute a major work of reference for years to come.”–Dennis Rodgers, Professor of International Development Studies, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands“This important book presents a highly readable, timely and definitive analysis of twelve years of Kirchnerism. It is essential reading for those who want to understand the dynamics behind how popular and successful left-wing governments are defeated and conservative administrations elected to replace them in Argentina and potentially other parts of Latin America.”–Daniel Ozarow, Senior Lecturer at Middlesex University and Co-Chair of the Argentina Research Network
