Argentine Serialised Radio Drama in the Infamous Decade, 1930-1943: Transmitting Nationhood
In her study of key serialized radio dramas broadcast from 1930 to 1943, Rea analyses the work of leading exponents of the genre against the wider backdrop of nation-building, intellectual movements and popular culture in Argentina. Grounded in archival work undertaken at the library of Argentores in Buenos Aires, Rea's book recovers the contribution that these products of popular culture made to the nation-building project as they helped to shape current understanding of Argentine history and cultural identity.

Praise for this book
'Lauren Rea's discussion of three sets of radio serials offers an original and convincing perspective from which to review Argentina's nation-building programme. Intelligently conceived and cogently argued, this is a work of the highest merit.' Evelyn Fishburn, University College London, UK 'This book significantly deepens our understanding of the way radio intersected with its local environment ... Argentine Serialised Radio Drama is a well-crafted, engaging, and valuable contribution to Latin American radio history ...' Hispanic American Historical Review 'Lauren Rea ... subjects the three sets of texts to a narrative analysis that reaches back into time and deep into the nineteenth century. By means of a close reading of the scripts themselves and the literary and wider cultural traditions that informed them, she seeks to show that these programmes engaged in a long-standing and intricate debate about Argentine nationhood.' Journal of Latin American Studies 'Rea's work is a model of intelligent cultural studies and represents well the potential of Ashgate's recently inaugurated series on New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies.'
