Abstract:

The materials in this collection provide a look at the economic, political, and social response that surrounded and followed the profound economic crisis in Argentina in 2001.

The materials in this collection provide a look at the economic, political, and social response that surrounded and followed the profound economic crisis in Argentina in 2001. They consist mostly of flyers, pamphlets, bulletins, serials, reports, and posters. While some materials published during the the second half of the 1990s were included in the collection, the bulk was created after 2001.

The collection is divided into subject sections. These include sections on organizations and movements known in Argentina as ahorristas, deudores, asambleas vecinales (neighborhood assemblies) and piqueteros, protest movements, the debate over the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA / ALCA), and other political and social organizations. In most sections, materials are then grouped alphabetically according to publisher. The briefest pamphlets and flyers, usually two pages or less, are left untitled and grouped together.
