Brasil e Argentina na Geografia da modernidade de Monteiro Lobato

Monteiro Lobato's texts show the great interest from the author by the ideas of modernity and progress. In his work, specially in the book Mr.Slang e o Brasil, the national questions are put against in an international context. Lobato establishes a Geography of Modernity which indicates a scale of progress where are found several countries in different stages. Beyond the admiration of the United States of America and England which are taken as parameter of modernity, Argentina has a great evidence in Lobato's texts as a model of economical stabilization and a society that is turned back to work. Argentina is in some extent, taken as an example to be followed by Brazil. In this work we seek to discuss the way like Brazil and Argentina are met opposed by Monteiro Lobato in Mr.Slang e o Brasil texts from the ideas of Modernity and Economical Progress.
