On the morning of October 17, 1945, thousands of protesters in Buenos Aires marched on Argentina’s main executive building, the Casa Rosada, to demand the return of Vice President Juan Perón, who had been forced to resign a week earlier. The day was hot, and many of the men took off their jackets and even their shirts. This earned them the mocking title of los descamisados - the shirtless. Perón’s supporters promptly reclaimed the insult and turned it into a badge of honor.

"Latin America's Populist Hangover" is from the November/December 2016 issue of Foreign Affairs.
