Domingo Faustino Sarmiento

sus viajes, la modernidad y el apologismo al federalismo norteamericano

Abstract

The following work analyses the influence of the United States in the
political thought of the argentine Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. The
objective is to demonstrate that his travel through of that country, begun
in 1847, were decisive in the configuration of his federal approaches.
Sarmiento’s apologies for the North American model reached
such dimensions, that he even maintained that the Argentine provinces
would achieve the so longed-for modernity, if they were able to abide
by the same system.
