Laura Ehrlich’s book is an innovative contribution to the cultural history of the Peronist trajectory. For a long time, the history of Peronism was mainly addressed from a political history standpoint, a perspective often dominated by the militants’ speech. Whether the path of the movement that emerged in 1945 was condemned, justified or praised, the most common interpretations aimed at taking a political stance. However, especially over the last few decades, other ways of scrutinizing Peronism have been developing apart from that combative historiography. This new approach is not detached from the civic debate, but it aspires to commit to critical knowledge, an effort subject to the criteria and requirements of a professional historiographical work. This is the spirit that underlies La reinvención del peronismo (1955-1965). As stated by the author, this book delivers the results of a work. The period considered in her research runs from the overthrow of Peron in 1955 to mid-1965s. Out of power and expelled from the legal political game, how did Peronism survive? Or rather how did the Peronist identity survive, with which symbolic ingredients or rituals did it nurture or rebuild? Looking for answers to questions such as these, Ehrlich analyses the Peronist press of the years that followed the end of Justicialist Argentina, she studies the organization of commemorations (masses in memory of Eva Peron, events honoring October 17th, etc.), the role of right-wing nationalism during the years of the Resistance, the subsequent definition of the “Peronist left-wing” signifier. In summary, a chapter of Peronism in the light of an original cultural history.
