You should read Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe for a more post-marxistic
approach, Eduardo Colombo and Cristian Ferrer for a more libertary or
anarchist view and definitely Emilio Mignone. I assume you are familiar with
Luis Abelardo Ramos and Tulio Halperin Donghi, two of Argentina's best
historical writers.
Buena suerte!
