Abstract:
The integralist and populist wings of modern nationalism in Argentina shared the same ideological model of a mobilized society and a homogeneous national identity, rejecting the values of the liberal model of 1830 which was open to immigration and cosmopolitanism. Within the integralist trend, traditionally more hostile to the Jews, Manuel Gálvez spoke against cosmopolitanism and the dangers of communism and anarchy, allegedly entrenched amongst the Jews. Gálvez, who thought of himself as a "philosemite", conceded that some intellectual Jews could become naturalized Argentinian citizens. The more right-wing Ramón Doll rejected the democratic system; he saw the Jews as a public enemy, an arm of British imperialism, and part of a world financial conspiracy. The populist nationalist trend, represented by the FORJA wing of the Radical Party and Luis Dellepiane, opposed Jewish immigration and separate Jewish schools as expressions of universal vs. Argentine interests, and of links with American imperialism. Concludes that Argentinian nationalism was opposed to cultural pluralism, leaving only the option of complete assimilation for the Jews.
