Описание: In 1983, following a military dictatorship that left thousands dead and disappeared and the economy in ruins, Ra l Alfons n was elected president of Argentina on a pledge to prosecute the armed forces for their crimes and restore a measure of material wellbeing to Argentine lives. Food, housing, and full employment became the litmus tests of new democracy. In Search of the Lost Decade reconsiders Argentina's transition to democracy by examining the everyday meanings of rights and the lived experience of democratic return, far beyond the ballot box and corridors of power. Beginning with promises to eliminate hunger and ending with food shortages and burning supermarkets, Jennifer Adairprovides an in-depth account of the Alfons n government's unfulfilled projects to ensure basic needs against the backdrop of a looming neoliberal world order. As it moves from the presidential palace to the streets, this original book offers a compelling reinterpretation of post-dictatorship Argentina and Latin America's so-called "lost decade."
