In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments I am grateful to librarians and archivists at Memorial Library (University of Wisconsin), Robarts Library (University of Toronto), the Library of Congress (United States), the Library of Congress (Argentina), the National Archives and Records Administration (United States), the Library of the Museum of the City (Buenos Aires), the National Library (Buenos Aires), and facilities at the Ministries of Defense, Foreign Relations, and the Interior in Argentina. I thank the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Tinker Foundation, and Trent University as well as the History Department and Latin American, Caribbean, and Iberian Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Colleagues in the Tel Aviv University Latin America Seminar, the Truman Institute and the Liwerant Center (The Hebrew University), and the Toronto Latin American Research Group made extensive critical comments on versions of these chapters that improved the volume tremendously. x · Consent of the Damned Raanan Rein and Jeff Lesser have set generous context to my work by scholarly example and menschlichkeit. I am a better historian for the adventures that Daniel de Anchorena and I have shared. Francisco A. Scarano, Thomas G. Paterson, Peter Blanchard, Lester D. Langley, and Carlos Alberto Mayo are my mentors past and present; without them I’d be floundering. Dale T. Graden is the historian whose lead I follow and Harry Shuber is the teacher I would like to be. I am thankful for the encouragement and high skill of Amy Gorelick, Kate Babbitt, and the expert team of professionals at the University Press of Florida. Sergio Victor Palma taught me most of what I know about race in Argentina (and tried to teach me a proper uppercut). I could not have written this book without the generous assistance and immeasurable friendship of Carmen Rebagliatti, Javier Lafont, and Min. Carlos Dellepiane. I thank Jorge Troisi Melean, Steve Stern, Florencia Mallon, Gillian McGillivray , Geneviève Dorais, Claudio Lafont, George MacDougall, Robert W. Wright, Timothy J. Stapleton, Ivana Elbl, Antonio Cazorla Sánchez, Ingrid Bolivar, Michael Donoghue, Gerardo Bompadre, Derek Lipman, Ricardo Cardona, Simon Piña, Nicolás Hidalgo, Eric Swanson, Leo Senkman , Mario Sznajder, and Kris Ruggiero. María Gomez, Santiago Vega, Alejandro Miranda, Ricardo Piña, Miriam Merlo, and Julian Gonzalez have made me part of their family. Rose Sheinin, Gabi Sheinin, Daniela Sheinin, Mica Sheinin, Jack Shuber, and Eleanor Shuber have kept me on in theirs. Mariana Laura Gomez is still teaching me how to fly. ...
