Summary Of "Resistance And Integration. Peronism And Argentinian Working Class, 1946-1976" By Daniel James - UNIVERSITY SUMMARIES - E-book - ePub

They have tried to show these workers as inexperienced, without identity, and easy prey of the reformist ideology of Peronism. Other authors, on the contrary, have tried to show that the option for Peronism, on the part of these workers, was a rational choice, as a way to achieve their needs. Perón used the ideological and repressive apparatus of the state, and, although he could not suppress the class struggle, he improved the relations between capital and labor.
PERONISM WAS MANIPULATING THE WORKERS, BUT THE WORKERS WERE LIKING TO BE MANIPULATED, IF THEY RECEIVED THE THINGS THEY REQUESTED. From this great book by James, we have summarized the essentials of chapters 1, "Peronism and the working class, 1943-55", 2, "Survival of Peronism: resistance in the factories" and 3, "Commands and unions: emergence of the new Peronist union leadership ".
