Sumario:This paper explores how the Italian anti-fascist group Giustizia e Libertà responded to the racist / racialist campaigns of the fascist regime between 1935 and 1940. To do this, we analysed a weekly publication edited by the group. This text is part of a broader investigation on the ways in which Gino Germani thematized this issue, under the hypothesis that it had resonances with different inter-discursive domains; among them, the discussions within the aforementioned group, with which the sociologist expressed open affinities. The text is structured in three sections. After a brief introduction, we present some salient features of GeL. Then, we present the main milestones of the successive racist campaigns of the fascist regime to give rise, in two successive sections, to the description of colonial policies (1935-1937) and of racial laws (1938-1940) and GeL positions regarding each one. Finally, we review the itinerary proposed in the previous sections and suggest some keys that allow the present analysis to shed light on new aspects of Germani’s thematization on the racial question and, more generally, on some features of the way in which this problem strained Argentine antifascism.
