Pueblos Enfermos

Investigates three examples of the turn-of-the-century essay in Spain and Latin America: Angel Ganivet's Idearium espanol, Jose Enrique Rodo's Ariel, and Alcides Arguedas's Pueblo enfermo. Michael Aronna traces the reactions of these thinkers to the economic, cultural, social, and political challenges of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
