The Golden Age Of Tango

Resumen del Libro

Published by the Argentine Dept. of Culture and the National Academy of Tango, this beautifully produced coffee-table book is an abridged version of the authors El libro del tango (see HLAS 46:7032).

Lacking a bibliography and source citations, it is of limited use to specialists –Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
