It offers a comparative analysis of Menemism and Kirchnerism, their discourse regarding the last military dictatorship and their relationship with human rights activist groups, notably Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo. Additionally, it attempts to conduct an early analysis of newly elected president Alberto Fernández and whether he is likely to follow the ideological path of his predecessor, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. It understands post-dictatorship Argentina through the lenses of global issues such as populism and collective memory.Show less
