Abstract
This study investigates the interface between national Argentine politics and those of Italian associations during specific periods after the Second World War period. The article suggests that a rhetoric of ethnic unity and cohesion, coupled with a corporatist structure of the main organization, FEDITALIA, was the expression of an internal leadership of accommodation rather than protest. This is evidenced in: (1) “reconciliation” between fascist and antifascist sectors of the Italian community; (2) Perón's speech to the federation of Italian associations in 1954; and (3) the Committee for a Just Peace which was sent to Italy in 1982 in order to influence that country's position in the Falklands/Malvinas war.
