Wandering Paysanos: State and Subaltern Experience in Buenos Aires during the Rosas Era. By Ricardo D. Salvatore (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2003. 544 pp. $59.95).

This detailed and provocative analysis of the Rosas Era questions engrained assumptions about the nature of Caudillo politics in post-independence Argentina and, one might add, Latin America. The stated purpose of this book is to revaluate the nature of subaltern politics during the Rosas Era.
