Description:
"Scrobie probes beyond the physical and demographic growth and examines the socioeconomic impact of settlement patterns, social structure, and cultural attitudes. He emphasizes the amazing urban expansion, both as a symbol and as an explanation of Argentina's direction and development to the present day. Buenos Aires presents the fullest account of the late nineteenth-century growth of any Latin American city - its sights, smells, sounds, and ethnic composition"--Jacket.
