	Facundo: Or, Civilization and Barbarism (Penguin Classics)
		Sarmiento also has a sort of habit to go off on tangents on things that are totally irrelevant to the subject matter at hand.
		Domingo F. Sarmiento is of European descent and has a biased for "civilization" and defies everything that is "barbaric" as he puts it, which really is what the story is about, and his protest to Rosas one of the leaders of Argentina at the time this story was written who is also "barbaric".
		Facundo is a gaucho and is interpreted by Sarmiento as a dicator who made is way to the top by hate and carelessness and is partially at fault for the state of "deterioration" that Argentina was presently in during mid-19th century Argentina.

	The Historian: Sarmiento: Author of a Nation. (book reviews) @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811-88), a leading Latin American liberal of his era, was the greatest of the Latin American propagandists for popular education.
		Sarmiento was also a great polymath: a soldier and journalist; a politician and president of Argentina; and the author of more than fifty volumes of collected writings, including Facundo, which is also known as Life in the Argentine Republic in the Days of the Tyrants.
		The deliberately ambiguous title, Sarmiento: Author of a Nation, may be meant to indicate a focus on Sarmiento's writings as opposed to his political career, but the latter is by no means devoid of interest.

		Undoubtedly, Sarmiento chose Aldao for this reason, further strengthening his argument against the barbarism of the Federalists.

		Largely self-taught, Sarmiento began his career as a rural schoolteacher at the age of 15 and soon entered public life as a provincial legislator.
		During that period in Chile, Sarmiento wrote Facundo, an impassioned denunciation of Rosas' dictatorship in the form of a biography of Juan Facundo Quiroga, Rosas' tyrannical gaucho lieutenant.
		Sarmiento was elected president of Argentina in 1868 and immediately began to apply his liberal ideals—his belief in democratic principles and civil liberties and his opposition to dictatorial regimes in any form—to the building of a new Argentina.

		Faustino Domingo Sarmiento and Eduarda Mansilla de García brought us the freshest impressions of Argentines on a first visit to the United States at a time when this nation was emerging as a world power and as a rival and model to its southern neighbors.
		Sarmiento was deeply involved in Argentina's bipartisan struggle, while Mansilla managed to bridge differences across her country's political divide, for she was both the niece of Sarmiento's arch-enemy, Juan Manuel Rosas, and the wife of a prominent politician of the opposition party.
		Sarmiento was not proud of his country's colonial past, but he did not entirely reject the principle of colonialism either, as this passage demonstrates.

		President of Argentina from 1868 to 1874, Sarmiento developed the nation's education system and defended civil liberties.
		"Sarmiento wanted to construct a utopian future for Argentina, but he had a blindness to the contemporary needs of his citizens," said Sorensen, an Argentinian native.

		At the moment of departing for Europe, Algiers and North America, the 34 years old Sarmiento had already written his famous "Facundo", had suffered twice the exile due to poiitical reasons, and possesed a cultural background unique in the southern republics just recently released from the hispanic colonial regime.
		His chilean friend Manuel Montt -then minister and later on President of Chile- had asked Sarmiento to review the education systems in the main countries and, in Sarmiento';s own words, "analyze the institutions that delay or advance their progress".
		Sarmiento, throughout his 1847 trip, and later on as Argentine Ambassador to Washington, constitutes the first Argentine that had the chance of knowing, admiring and widespreading the huge advances of the United States.

		In his writing Facundo becomes the archetype of the mean, brave, cruel, uneducated, dominant, outstanding horseman, regarded with high esteem by and among the rural masses, but with little or null positive use to a civilized conception.

		His Facundo: Civilización y Barbarie (Facundo: Civilization and Barbarism [1845]), a somewhat fanciful and certainly vitriolic biography of the Argentinian dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, put forward a thesis that would be embraced by the majority of the Latin American intellectuals.
		Latin American social and political problems, so believed Sarmiento, stemmed from the conflict between Europeanized urban classes and the barbarism of the ignorant rural population (gauchos, indians, peasants, etc.).
		The solution posited by Sarmiento advocated the introduction of European ways at the expense of the backward heritage left by Spain and continued by segments of the native population.
