El primer día de marzo de 1948, miles de argentinos se reunieron frente a la estación Retiro del Ferrocarril Central Argentino, en la actual Ciudad de Buenos Aires, para festejar la estatización de todas las empresas ferroviarias privadas (48.000 km de extensión). Había sido una decisión del entonces presidente de la Nación, Juan Domingo Perón, la de recuperar el control de las redes ferroviarias, operadas por empresas británicas. El Decreto N° 32.574, firmado aquel día, reorganizó las antiguas compañías, incluyendo a los Ferrocarriles del Estado, en ocho líneas en que fue dividida la red ferroviaria a partir del año siguiente: General Bartolomé Mitre, General Belgrano, Domingo F. Sarmiento, General Roca, General San Martín, General Urquiza y Patagónico. Las líneas estatales, que bajo la denominación de ferrocarriles nacionales operaron como empresas autónomas, quedaron bajo la órbita de la Empresa Nacional de Transportes (ENT), también a cargo del transporte tranviario, subterráneo y automotor nacionalizado. El presidente se vio imposibilitado de asistir al acto por haber sido operado de apéndice y su discurso fue leído por el entonces ministro de Obras Públicas, Juan Pistarini. A partir de la decisión gubernamental, todas las líneas ferroviarias británicas fueron renombradas: El Ferrocarril Central Argentino recibió la denominación “Ferrocarril Nacional General Bartolomé Mitre”, el Ferrocarril Sud fue rebautizado como “Ferrocarril Nacional General Roca”, el Ferrocarril de Buenos Aires al Pacífico como “Ferrocarril Nacional General San Martín”, y el Ferrocarril Oeste como “Ferrocarril Nacional Domingo Faustino Sarmiento”. El resto de las líneas, aunque no fueran de capital británico, también fueron rebautizadas con los nombres de próceres argentinos. Transcurridos 67 años, el 1° de marzo de 2015, la entonces presidenta Cristina Fernández de Kirchner envió al Congreso Nacional un proyecto para recuperar la administración de los Ferrocarriles Argentinos por parte del Estado. La iniciativa, sancionada el 15 de abril de ese mismo año, dispuso la creación de Ferrocarriles Argentinos Sociedad del Estado, encargada de la operatoria de todos los trenes de pasajeros y de cargas. Recordamos la histórica decisión adoptada en 1948 a partir de testimonios conservados en el Archivo Histórico de Radio Nacional.

Con el trasfondo del atentado contra la vida del presidente de la nación Domingo F. Sarmiento en 1873 y el estallido de una inesperada revolución en Buenos Aires, una joven de familia acomodada se ve obligada a casarse con un hombre a quien desprecia para, luego, enamorarse enloquecidamente de él.Esta es una muestra de "En brazos de mi enemigo". La versión completa tiene una duración total de 19 h 56 min. Encuentra este audiolibro completo en https://bit.ly/3GCSyGCNarrado por: Paola Cohen FalahLa novela desgrana la historia de un triángulo amoroso en la Buenos Aires de comienzos de la década de 1870: Pilar, una joven de familia rica; su amor secreto Gonzalo, un estudiante de abogacía de origen humilde, amigo de su hermano y ferviente opositor al presidente Sarmiento, y Rafael, un joven viudo propietario de una estancia en Capilla del Señor dedicada a la cría de caballos. Una tarde, alguien se presenta en casa de Rafael con la inquietud de entrar en el negocio de los caballos. Es el padre de Pilar. Tras varios encuentros, ambos acuerdan ser socios, aunque no sólo eso: un matrimonio arreglado hará crecer sus respectivas fortunas. El día en que Rafael se queda a cenar con la familia para festejar, a la vez que Pilar lo deslumbra con su belleza él suscita en la joven una atracción inquietante. El compromiso se adelanta y todas las tensiones explotan por el aire. Los celos de Gonzalo llevan a la pareja a revelar su relación y buscar alianzas, pero esa opción pronto se transformará en un camino sin retorno. En brazos de mi enemigo lo tiene todo: echa luz a un momento de la historia del país muy poco visitado por las novelas de su género, su autora es lúcida y generosa a la hora de reconstruir la vida de la sociedad porteña durante el último cuarto del siglo XIX, y contiene una dosis de erotismo que crece en cada página. © 2022, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.

La Argentina no hubiera sido nunca un gran país, sin el potente aporte de Domingo F. Sarmiento. Y es probable que DFS no hubiera llegado nunca a ser quien quien fue, sin su paso enriquecedor por los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica en 1847. Hernán Iglesias Illa buscó replicar aquel peregrinaje tras las huellas de Sarmiento, persiguiendo sus impresiones y aprendizajes. El resultado feliz de tal experiencia es el libro American Sarmiento y su autor nos revela sus claves en Laberinto Argentino.

In 1845 two thinkers from the American hemisphere – the Argentinean statesman Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, and the fugitive ex-slave, abolitionist leader, and orator from the United States, Frederick Douglass – both published their first works. Each would become the most famous and enduring texts in what were both prolific careers, and they ensured Sarmiento and Douglass’ position as leading figures in the canon of Latin American and U.S. African-American political thought, respectively. But despite the fact that both deal directly with key political and philosophical questions in the Americas, Douglass and Sarmiento, like African-American and Latin American thought more generally, are never read alongside each other. Still, as Theorizing Race in the Americas: Douglass, Sarmiento, Du Bois, and Vasconcelos (Oxford University Press, 2017) contends, looking at the two together allows one to chart a hemispheric intellectual geography of race that challenges political theory’s preoccupation with and assumptions about East / West comparisons, and questions the use of comparison as a tool in the production of theory and philosophy. By juxtaposing four prominent nineteenth and twentieth-century thinkers – Frederick Douglass, Domingo F. Sarmiento, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Jose Vasconcelos – Theorizing Race in the Americas will be the first to bring African-American and Latin American political thought into conversation. The book stresses that Latin American and U.S. ideas about race were not developed in isolation, but grew out of transnational intellectual exchanges across the Americas. In so doing, she shows that nineteenth and twentieth-century U.S. and Latin American thinkers each looked to political models in the ‘other’ America to advance racial projects in their own countries. Reading these four intellectuals as hemispheric thinkers, the author foregrounds elements of their work that have been dismissed by dominant readings, and provides a crucial platform to bridge the canons of Latin American and African-American political thought. Juliet Hooker is a Professor of Political Science at Brown University. She earned her undergraduate degree from Williams College, and her M.A. and Ph.D. from Cornell University. In addition to Theorizing Race in the Americas: Douglass, Sarmiento, Du Bois, and Vasconcelos she is also the author of Race and the Politics of Solidarity. Hooker’s research interests have focused on theories of multiculturalism, Latin American political thought, and Afro-descendant and indigenous politics in Latin America. James P.
