La manera de representar el poder a través del arte efímero, el arte costumbrista, la emblemática, los retratos y las caricaturas, así como la construcción de la identidad cultural y nacional en Iberoamérica son los puntos clave de esta obra, en la que los autores establecen paralelismos y diferencias entre la representación del poder en la Península y en el continente americano, durante el amplio periodo histórico que va entre los siglos XVI y XIX.

En este libro, el autor explora la construccion de la nacionalidad a traves de los deportes. Analiza dimensiones sociales y culturales de clase que estan reflejadas en las practicas deportivas; toma tres figuras predominantes de epocas distintas: Juan Manuel Gangio, campeon mundial del automovilismo; Carlos Monzon, boxeador, y Diego Armando Maradona, los tres salidos de estratos sociales marginados, y da cuenta de la heterogeneidad que el pais ha sabido albergar, y de la complejidad moral y social que lo atraviesa.
