INDIGENOUS PERONISM? THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW POLITICAL SUBJECT IN THE ARGENTINE CHACO (1943-1955)

Although some recent studies have begun to shed light on Peronism’s racial dimensions, we still know little about indigenous people’s political lives during Perón’s first and second presidencies.

Indigenous leaders from Chaco and Formosa embraced the rhetoric of Peronism and the fundamental principles of populism, and applied both with disparate results. This article focuses particularly on the case of Pedro Martínez, known as the Toba’s “cacique general,” who founded new evangelical churches at the same time as he became an important interlocutor before the Argentine state. Recognizing natives as important political actors helps us to understand the formation of the Peronist state and Perón’s symbolic popularity in many native communities, without denying the material limits of the period’s indigenous politics. Si bien algunos estudios recientes empiezan a arrojar luz sobre las dimensiones raciales del peronismo, todavía sabemos poco de la vida política de los aborígenes durante la primera época de Perón. Los líderes indígenas de Chaco y Formosa abrazaron la retórica del peronismo y los fundamentos del populismo, y aplicaron a ambos con dispares resultados. Se enfoca particularmente en el caso de Pedro Martínez, conocido como el “cacique general” de los toba, quien fundó nuevas iglesias evangélicas al mismo tiempo que se convirtió en un interlocutor importante ante el Estado argentino. El reconocimiento de los aborígenes como importantes actores políticos nos ayuda a entender la constitución del Estado peronista y la popularidad simbólica de Perón en muchas comunidades aborígenes, sin negar los límites materiales de la política indigenista de aquella época.
