PRODUCT SUMMARY
(1895-1974)/(1919-1952) As President and First Lady of Argentina, Juan and Evita Peron won the loyalty and admiration of millions. Together, they fought to improve conditions for the average worker and established charitable and welfare systems during turbulent times in Argentina. Although highly criticized by the upper classes, Juan Peron is remembered for unifying the working class and, for a time, energizing the Argentine economy. Considered a kind of modern-day saint by some Argentine people and an opportunist by others, Evita is remembered for her strength and determination. Part of the multi-volume Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Video Collection, a compelling set of biographies that introduces students to outstanding Hispanic and Latin American men and women. Available in both English and Spanish.
