 Politically
Incorrect Irish Argentines in the Early Perónist Period By
Carolina Barry. Shows that although the Irish community in Argentina
has been frequently depicted as being part of the landowning "estancieros",
several Irish names can be identified among the supporters of Perón.
May sound a little esoteric, but well is a well documented,
worthwhile and illustrated article on what appears to be an
interesting aspect of Perónism.

 National identity, nationhood and immigration
in Argentina, 1810-1930 lengthy
essay by Jeane DeLaney
for the Stanford
Humanities Electronic Review, 1997.
The first part looks at
nineteenth- century understandings of nationality in Argentina. Focusing
on the thought of prominent intellectuals and political leaders, it
examines how the view of Argentina as a political association meshed with
Romantic notions of national character to shape the nation’s notoriously
liberal immigration and naturalization policies. Section II traces the
emergence of early twentieth-century cultural nationalism, looking at ways
in which massive immigration and the waning interest in democratic ideals
transformed traditional views of the immigrant. A final section extends
the discussion of cultural nationalism’s political implications by looking
at the ideas of the movement’s harshest critics: the leaders of the
Argentine Socialist Party.

Internal Expansion
Unlike in the other "white" immigrant states, mass immigration was not
followed by internal expansion, rather in the case of Argentina, mass
European immigration was used to consolidate the internal expansion and
existing political structure that had already taken place. ie immigrants
worked for service industries based in Buenos Aires or were employed by
existing estanciero landowners. They did not form a new smallholding class
as in the US and Australia... This has radical consequences for 20th century
political stability. But that is another story.....

Argentine
Literature and the 'Conquest of the Desert', 1872-1896
A very academic article by Jens Andermann, Birkbeck College looking at the role of literature in

does show the literature as supporting military conquest rather than as
indicating a new frontier for a new society. Interesting images.
