The Denial of Citizenship: “Barbaric” Buenos Aires and the Middle-Class Imaginary

This paper explores how, in the Buenos Aires of neoliberalism, middle-class residents strove to make sense of their own impoverishment and their disenfranchisement by generating a consensus on how this city’s modernity was being eroded by the presence of a large mestizo lower class.
