Books by Jeffrey M. Shumway

In 1837 Mariquita Sanchez de Mendeville was so fed up with governor Juan Manuel de Rosas that she chose to leave her beloved city of Buenos Aires. Juan Manuel de Rosas's version of order alienated Mariquita, who chose self-imposed exile. Their lives provide an overarching narrative for Argentine history for both scholars and students.

In Buenos Aires, 1776-1870, ideological influences of the revolutionary movement combined with the practical needs of nation building to create new freedoms and new identities for women and children over the course of the nineteenth century. This book talks about these family and national struggles.
