| Sumario: | At the beginning of the 20th century, the Christian Democratic League sent three expeditionaries to Tucumán with the purpose of surveying the social and labor conditions of the sugar workers. The trip allowed them to know, describe and inform the leadership of the League about that distant and unknown world, which they considered it was imperative to intervene to improve the workers' living conditions and stop the advance of socialism. At the crossroads of the aspirations of scientificity, based on direct observation, and classist preconceptions and moral prejudices, the diagnosis promoted questions and possible answers to advance in the workers' organization. The voyage of the Catholic expeditionaries, captured in the book Por los ingenios de Tucumán. Impresiones de viaje, allows us to rethink an unprecedented experience of knowledge, linkage and action born of social Catholicism in the early twentieth century. The challenge of this article is to contribute to an interrelated social history that privileges the look around the possibilities, uncertainties and challenges of social Catholicism to build a diagnosis of the sugar world and generate proposals for action in northern Argentina. |
