Main Article Content

Perla Brígida Zusman
The aim of this paper is to identify some landscapes that emerge from Sarmiento’s travel writing to United States. Sarmiento is fascinated by those geographical transformations that he observes along his visit to this country, particularly by the extension of communications and the frontier advance towards the West. From his point of view material changes are well linked with the constitution of an igalitarian, democratic republic. These aspects help to forge a political project for the Argentina in formation.
