ZANG, Laura Mabel. THE SETTLEMENT PROCESS IN MISIONES-ARGENTINA: AN APPROACH BASED ON THE WORK OF ROBERT EIDT. Folia [online]. 2021, n.42, pp.163-176. ISSN 0325-8238.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0424529.

The present work constitutes a critical analysis of the book Pioneer Settlement in Northeast Argentina, written by the German geographer Robert C. Eidt in 1971. This book is central to the study of the settlement of Misiones. The author analyzes this process over several centuries of history, addressing the factors involved in this phenomenon, the implicit power relations, the spatial changes generated, and the actors involved. In addition, the book combines disciplines such a History, Geography, Economics, Politics, and Biology. It also represents a practically obligatory reference for any research that focuses its interest on either the settlement of Misiones or the evolution of the main cultivation of these lands: yerba mate.
