| Sumario: | This book explores the history and impact of Peronism, a political movement in Argentina led by Juan Domingo Perón during the mid-20th century. The movement aimed to redistribute wealth, establish a welfare state, and promote social programs under Eva Perón's guidance. It introduced female suffrage, nationalized various economic sectors, and implemented a policy known as 'the third position.' Despite its achievements, Peronism also faced economic challenges, political violence, and opposition, eventually leading to a coup in 1955. The book delves into the propaganda efforts of the Peronist regime, highlighting their use of media and art to unify the population and manage dissent. It discusses the role of Raúl Alejandro Apold in shaping the Peronist image, including the creation of films and control over press coverage. The text provides insights into how art and propaganda were used to manipulate public opinion and enforce authoritarian policies, while maintaining a façade of national unity.
