Description:
The cultural and political connections between Spain, Italy and Argentina developed complex transnational transfers over the course of two World Wars. Bringing together scholars from all three nations, Continental Transfers configures a multidirectional approach to the nations' reciprocal exchange using new theoretical ground to understand the development links to the construction of national and supranational identities, such as Latinism and Hispanism.

Review Quotes:
"All in all, this is a very useful volume presenting the history of political and cultural transfers between Europe and South America from an innovative and understudied perspective. The strengths are most visible when the authors take the transnational perspective seriously and organize their research accordingly. Thanks to this book we know much more about the triangular entanglements between Spain, Italy and Argentina." - Bulletin of Spanish Studies
