      abstract = {This book examines the prolific and widely-attended  popular theater boom of the género chico criollo in the  context of Argentina's modernization. Victoria Lynn Garrett  examines how selected plays mediated the impact of economic  liberalism, technological changes, new competing and  contradictory gender roles, intense labor union activity,  and the foreign/nativist dichotomy. Popular theaters served  as spaces for cultural agency by portraying conventional  and innovative performances of daily life. This dramatic  corpus was a critical mass cultural medium that allowed  audiences to evaluate the dominant fictions of liberal  modernity, to critique Argentina's purportedly democratic  culture, and to imagine alternative performances of  everyday life in accordance with their realities. Through a  fresh look at the relationship among politics, economics,  popular culture, and performance in Argentina's  modernization period, the book uncovers largely overlooked  articulations of popular-class identities and desires for  greater inclusion that would drive social and political  struggles to this day.},
