''Argentinians come from European boats'', goes a famous Argentinian expression, a clear indication of role European immigration played in Argentinian society. Even though the phrase is not historically accurate and does not reflect the country's long and rich history, it is undeniable that Argentina received a very large number of European immigrants escaping from wars, famines and economic crisis. They arrived in the country between 1850 and 1950.
The talk will guide us through the historical facts surrounding immigration and cultural diversity in Argentina. Special focus will be placed on the role the Irish community played in this country and its influence in contemporary Argentina. Speaker: Laura Szmulewicz Laura studied Social Anthropology at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Most of her work revolves around colonialism and knowledge theories.
