Abstract

SALOMON, Alejandra L.. From no man's land to everyone's heritage. Neighbors and municipalities in the Buenos Aires road work in the mid-twentieth century. Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2022, vol.57, n.2, pp.299-331.  Epub Dec 01, 2022. ISSN 2314-1549.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.44.035.

In order to question the generalized accounts of the collapse of associationism after the dismantling of rural territories in the mid-20th century, the work raises the emergence of a new and multifaceted wave of road promotion. Specifically, from an institutionalist perspective and based on documentary research, it shows that, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the novel institutional dynamics -which provided advice, economic resources and equipment to the communes- channeled within the State the neighborhood collaboration in road matters in the interior of the Buenos Aires Province. Indeed, active sectors of road development, nurtured by previous experience and marked by a more institutionalized profile, became privileged interlocutors of the municipalities.

Keywords : local roads; municipal government; fomentism; Buenos Aires province; mid-twentieth century.
