Facundo -extended due deadline: Sunday
From Wikipedia:
As Kimberly Ball observes, "civilization is identified with northern Europe, North America, cities, Unitarians, Paz, and Rivadavia", while "barbarism is identified with Latin America, Spain, Asia, the Middle East, the countryside, Federalists, Facundo, and Rosas."
And Sarmiento believed that those gauchos were mere parasites.
That's a start. The floor is yours.

Welcome to the Class!
Please copy/paste the following and replace it with your information:
Name: Nelson López
Major: Translation, Latin American Studies
Year: Last year in the Translation program.
