“Malvinas Requiem has a well-earned spot as the major literary piece on Argentina’s only twentieth-century war.”—Buenos Aires HeraldIt’s early June 1982 and winter in the Falkland Islands: twenty-four young soldiers—deserters from the Argentine army—spend the last weeks of the conflict hiding underground in a cave. Inside their refuge, they listen to the radio, stockpile supplies, and exchange stories; outside, under cover of night, they trade with the Argentine quartermaster and with the British. Looking out over the bleak landscape, after weeks of gray skies and horizontal snow, one of them remarks that “you’d have to be English to want this.”

Durante noviembre de 1869 Jose Hernandez publico en el periodico El Rio de la Plata una serie de comentarios acerca de la situacion en que se encontraban Las Islas Malvinas. Hernandez se propone alli, basicamente, denunciar la usurpacion, lograr que se restituya el territorio a la soberania argentina y llamar la atencion sobre un asunto que mantiene aun una indudable actualidad. Los articulos, recopilados en esta edicion, surgieron de la carta descriptiva (tambien reproducida) que el Comandante de la Armada Augusto Laserre habia escrito a Hernandez relatando lo acontecido en su viaje a las islas. La Compilacion de los articulos, los sumarios y las notas corresponden a Joaquin Gil Guinon y el prologo a esta edicion es de Osvaldo Guglielmino.

This book presents the events of the Falklands War from the Argentinian point of view from initial decision to invade through to their defeat. The work concentrates on military events in the Falklands with special reference to incidents such as the sinking of the Belgrano. The book is based on interviews with Argentinians, servicemen from the actual army, navy and airforce units who fought in the Falklands plus Argentinian documents and published accounts which have been released since the war.

This is not a story about art. Although Malvina Hoffman was known as America's Rodin, her story is one of adventure, intrigue, and life among the greatest artists and powerbrokers during the early to mid-twentieth century. Every action Malvina undertook broke glass ceilings. She smashed through her fears to achieve the impossible, many times over. She was an inspiration to all.

Book by Dabat, Alejandro, Lorenzano, Luis

Told from the point of view of a survivor of the Falklands War, Los pichiciegos follows a band of Argentinean soldiers who, after the construction of an underground refuge, desert the army in the middle of the conflict and create their own community. After their desertion, survival becomes their primary focus, and in order to eat, keep warm, see in the dark, and—most importantly—remain undiscovered, they have to deal both with their own side and that of the English. A captivating novel of the experience of war and of life itself, this book represents a high-water mark in late 20th-century Latin American literature. Un relato construido a partir de las declaraciones de un sobreviviente de la Guerra de las Malvinas, Los pichiciegos sigue a un grupo de soldados argentinos que, tras la construcción de un refugio subterráneo, desertan del ejercito, en plena guerra, para crear una comunidad con sus propias leyes. Todo gira entonces en torno a la sobrevivencia, y para poder comer, mantenerse calientes, ver en la oscuridad y—lo más importante de todo—no ser descubiertos, tienen que traficar tanto con su propio bando como con el de los ingleses. Esta novela cautivadora sobre la experiencia de la guerra y de la vida misma representa la cumbre de la literatura latinoamericana a finales del siglo XX.

In 1930, Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History commissioned sculptor Malvina Hoffman to produce three-dimensional models of racial types for an anthropology display called the Races of Mankind. In this exceptional study, Marianne Kinkel measures the colossal impact of the ninety-one bronze and stone sculptures on perceptions of race in twentieth-century visual culture, tracing their exhibition from their 1933 debut and nearly four decades at the Field Museum to numerous reuses, repackagings, reproductions, and publications that reached across the world.Employing a keen interdisciplinary approach, Kinkel taps archival sources and period publications to construct a cultural biography of the Races of Mankind sculptures. She examines how Hoffman's collaborations with curators and anthropologists transformed the commission from a traditional physical anthropology display to a fine art exhibit. She also tracks influential exhibitions of statuettes in New York and Paris and photographic reproductions in atlases, maps, and encyclopedias. The volume concludes with the dismantling of the exhibit at the Field Museum in the late 1960s and the redeployment of some of the sculptures in new educational settings.Kinkel demonstrates how the Races of Mankind sculptures participated in various racial paradigms by asserting fixed racial types and racial hierarchies in the 1930s, promoting the notion of a Brotherhood of Man in the 1940s, and engaging Afrocentric discourses of identity in the 1970s. Despite the enormous role the sculptures played in representing race in American visual culture, their history has been largely unrecognized until now. The first sustained examination of this influential group of sculptures, Races of Mankind: The Sculptures of Malvina Hoffman examines how the veracity of race is continually renegotiated through collaborative processes involved in the production, display, and circulation of visual representations.

En las Malvinas se juega parte del incipiente nuevo orden multipolar y la presencia anglosajona en el Polo Sur. El desafío no es menor pues exige el abordaje multidimensional geoestratégico alejado del narcisismo geopolítico, y menos aún sucumbir a la despreciable pusilanimidad apátrida. Argentina debe sopesar sabiamente sus alcances y las limitaciones de cada jugada de ajedrez en la que pueda obtener el máximo de beneficios para recuperar las Malvinas, que se han convertido en el icono tanto de su pasado aciago como de su futuro regenerativo. No existe tema que congregue casi en forma unánime a la nación argentina que el simbolismo de las Malvinas; caso sui géneris de la "sicología de las masas" descubierta por Gustave Le Bon en el siglo XIX, y transmutada a las multitudinarias misas políticas del siglo XXI. Las asíntotas metafísicas de Argentina y sus dilemas shakespearianos irresolubles -como la identidad nacional de Carlos Gardel o la supremacía futbolera entre Maradona y Messi- se disuelven asombrosamente ante el icono del Santo Grial de las Malvinas: el único monoteísmo consensuado de la nación argentina que requiere de otro tipo de cruzadas mentales -que coincide con el ascenso de un Papa jesuita de nacionalidad argentina- para su anhelada recuperación, que traduzca sabiamente el nuevo correlato tripolar geoestratégico y sus regionalismos creativos que se han gestado para que Argentina saque el máximo provecho de lo que le debe la historia y sus vicisitudes geopolíticas. La clave reside en descifrar el momento propicio para también cobrarle sus afrentas a la historia cuando, desde un abordaje multidimensional geoestratégico, la recuperación de las Malvinas se vislumbra en el horizonte. Sólo falta saber concretarlo con el coraje de la prudencia que caracteriza a los verdaderos héroes de todos los tiempos y a sus ilustrados epígonos.
