Civilité et politique aux origines de la nation argentine examines the role of social customs and political behavior in shaping Argentine national identity during the formative period from 1829 to 1862. Focusing on Buenos Aires, the book analyzes how norms of civility influenced public life, elite interactions, and the development of political institutions in the early republic. Drawing on historical and sociological perspectives, Pilar Gonzáles Bernaldo de Quiros explores the intersection of etiquette, social networks, and governance in a society undergoing rapid transformation. The work contributes to broader understandings of Latin American state formation and the cultural foundations of political legitimacy.
