Jeane DeLaney - Identity and Nationalism in Modern Argentina: Defending the True Nation

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This project has been picked up and laid aside more times than I care to admit, and its journey has been a long one. In the course of research, writing, and conceptualizing (and reconceptualizing) its central arguments, I have incurred many debts, both professional and personal. Several scholars read and provided useful feedback on portions of the manuscript, including Michael Goebel, Sandra McGee Deutsch, Nicola Foote, and David Rock. Diego Armus, who generously read the entire manuscript, offered many suggestions that helped me navigate the tricky issue of early twentieth-century racial discourses. While Ive not been able to follow all of their advice, this work is immeasurably better for their feedback. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Douglas Klusmeyer, who introduced me to the vast literature on European nationalism and helped me make connections between Argentine and European thought that I would otherwise have missed. Finally, I would like to mention Charles A. Hale and Oscr Tern, both now deceased, who gave generous guidance and encouragement at crucial moments.

Segments of this work have been presented at many conferences, where audience comments helped me clarify and expand my arguments. Of particular importance was the National Endowment for the Humanities conference on New World nationalism organized by Don Doyle and Marco Antonio Pamplona, where a range of scholars focusing on different aspects of nationalism in the Americas came together for fruitful discussion and debate. This work has also benefited from feedback from friends and colleagues at St. Olaf, who read and responded to portions of the manuscript. Worthy of special mention are Gwen Barnes-Karol, Dolores Peters, and Eric Fure-Slocum, whose advice and friendship helped me bring this project to fruition. Research for this project took place over a number of years, and was aided by a number of individuals, who offered ongoing assistance. In Argentina, I wish to thank in particular Luca Gadano, Magdalena La Porta, and Guillermo Salvas. Closer to home is the dedicated interlibrary loan staff of the St. Olaf library, who tenaciously chased down all sorts of hard-to-access materials.

I feel fortunate that this manuscript found a home at the University of Notre Dame Press. Early on, Stephen Little played an invaluable role in bringing this manuscript to the presss attention. Eli Bortz did more than anyone else to usher it through the review process, and graciously offered editorial advice on several chapters. Working with copy editor Ann Donahue has been a pleasure, as she has sought to improve my prose, correct my punctuation (especially misplaced commas!), and iron out the complexities of citing some of my more obscure Spanish-language sources.

Last, but certainly not least, comes my family. I have been blessed to be part of a large extended family that is both far-flung and tight-knit, and whose support has always sustained me. But it is to my immediate family, my husband, Jeff, and daughter, Mariah, that most thanks are due. They have lived with this project for much too long, and I deeply appreciate their love, support, and infinite patience. It is to them that this book is dedicated.
