MICHELETTI, María Gabriela. Early historiographic efforts in defense of the provinces and their warlords: the History of López, by Ramon Lassaga. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.1. ISSN 1669-9041.

In this paper we present a textual and contextual analysis of the History of López (Buenos Aires, Imprenta y Librería de Mayo, 1881), the historiographical main work of the historian of Santa Fe, Ramón Lassaga (1858-1921). It reveals a historical discourse that tends to exalt the provincial past and its warlords for their contribution to the history of Argentina, in relationship with other works that appeared from various regional areas. We are particularly interested in considering the way that Lassaga, the most prominent historian of Santa Fe of the period of the ending of XIX century and the beginning of XX century, positioned himself in front of the big national stories. We sought to determine how much he was influenced by recognized schools, and how far he came in tension with discourses that minimized or questioned the role played by the provinces in the process of building Argentina nation.
