  Teaching U.S. History in Argentina | M. Graciela Abarca | November 2004 OAH Newsletter
The university authorities, faculty and students were very enthusiastic about the introduction of new courses, but there was still a long way to go before U.S. history, among others, could become fully established as an important component in the training of historians.
In 1987, after a year as visiting scholar at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Pablo Pozzi undertook the difficult task of developing the first course on U.S. history at the University of Buenos Aires.
This journal is edited by University of Buenos Aires faculty and the Center of American Studies in collaboration with universities in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay, thereby offering a South American perspective on U.S. history issues.
