| Sumario: | This book explores the historical journey and identity formation of Jewish immigrants in Argentina, focusing on the Jewish community in Villa Clara, Entre Ríos. It examines the socio-cultural dynamics as these immigrants adapted to life in the pampas, integrating elements of the gaucho lifestyle. The narrative delves into how these communities, seeking refuge from European pogroms, were supported by the Jewish Colonization Association, which provided land and resources. Utilizing archival materials, oral histories, and local narratives, the author, Noemi Freidenberg, presents a comprehensive account of the Jewish settlers' contributions to Argentine culture and economy. The book also highlights the challenges faced by these immigrants, such as bureaucratic constraints and environmental adversities, and their efforts to maintain cultural identity within a multicultural society.
