| Sumario: | Abroad migrants tend to seek their compatriots to break the isolation caused by the migratory process and their identity fracture. However, the newcomer is often subjected to mistrust and prejudice by his previous peers because he is an “other” in the space dispute. This was the case of the Argentine exiles in Brazil, when they found an already settled Argentine community. The stigma of polarization and political violence of the 1970s also weighed on them: members of the community echoed the dictatorship's speech, calling them “terrorists.” This article presents a historical perspective on the contradictory relationship between these two groups, their constitution of identity, subjectivities, the demonization of the other(s), their networks of sociability. In order to answer these questions, we analyze oral interviews, documents and newspapers, which will allow us to outline the scenario of action and to approach this past full of ambiguities and conflicts. |
