Valeria Manzano demonstrates how, during this period, large numbers of youths built on their history of earlier activism and pushed forward closely linked agendas of sociocultural modernization and political radicalization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing also on the views of adults who assessed, and sometimes profited from, youth culture, Manzano analyzes countercultural formations -- including rock music, sexuality, student life, and communal living experiences -- and situates them in an international context. She details how, while Argentines of all ages yearned for newness and change, it was young people who championed the transformation of deep-seated traditions of social, cultural, and political life. The significance of youth was not lost on the leaders of the rising junta: people aged sixteen to thirty accounted for 70 percent of the estimated 20,000 Argentines who were \"disappeared\" during the regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eValeria Manzano is associate professor of history at the Instituto de Altos Estudios Sociales and researcher at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas in Argentina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 354\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46290539643077,"sku":"9781469611617","price":74.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/VS0VP3YuNg9781469611617.webp?v=1780077187","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-age-of-youth-in-argentina-culture-politics-and-sexuality-from-peron-to-videla-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
