Situating his writings in their historical and intellectual context, Wassner explores Aguinis?s engagement with the dialectic of modernization as a Jewish public intellectual equally dedicated to fostering Argentine democracy and to inscribing himself in the annals of westernization. Encompassing intellectual history, literary criticism, Latin American history, and Jewish studies, Wassner?s work illuminates the intersecting roles of Jews and public intellectuals in bringing democracy to post-dictatorship Argentina. 410 0$aJewish Latin America$v3. 606 $aIntellectuals$zArgentina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aJews$zArgentina$xIntellectual life 606 $aPolitics in literature 607 $aArgentina$xPolitics and government$y1983-2002 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntellectuals$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aPolitics in literature. 676 $a863/.64 700 $aWassner$b Dalia$0918440 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453495503321 996 $aHarbinger of modernity$92059346 997 $aUNINA
