Sarmiento, Argentina, Facundo, EssayAbstract
This essay analyzes the way in which Domingo Faustino Sarmiento perceives the civilization and barbarism dichotomy. In this sense, the Argentinian statesman enters into a geographical, cultural and political study of the figure of Facundo Quiroga, which reflects his fascination not only with the character, but with what he represents. Thus, the culture and nature of that representation appear to Sarmiento as an obstacle that, if it is necessary, must be overcome to establish the Nation State.
