Sarmiento, one of the most important political and cultural figures of nineteenth-century Latin America. Argirópolis proposes the union of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay into the United States of South America or the United States of the Río de la Plata, with a capital on Martín García island. It anticipates some aspects of the continent's future, such as the formation of Mercosur (the Southern Common Market) in 1991. Argirópolis explores politics, modernity, and nation formation, making Sarmiento's treatise one of Argentina and Latin America's most relevant programmatic texts. Presented alongside a critical introduction that situates the essay in its historical and political contexts, this translation allows English-speaking readers to explore nineteenth-century Latin American perspectives on concepts such as the nation-state, sovereignty, progress, space, and modernity. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aLatin American History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aAmerican Politics 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aLatin American History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 676 $a320.982 700 $aSarmiento$b Domingo Faustino$f1811-1888,$0143084 702 $aFares$b Gustavo C.$f1957- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910863144603321 996 $aDomingo F.
