| Sumario: | There are a lot of motives that turn a country into a multiethnic society. In Argentina, immigration presence is crucial in shaping the agricultural colonies and therefore plays an important part in the economic development of the country, especially as the labor force used in rural activities. Entre Ríos is a pioneer along with Santa Fe in matters of agricultural colonization, since there a group of Valesanos and Saboyanos found Colonia San José. In 1890 some of these settlers plus a group of Piedmontese organize the Villa Elisa colony. This article recognizes two objectives: 1) study the practices of the three communities to preserve their identities, while successfully incorporating themselves into the new medium. 2) Analyze the strategies that descendants of those early settlers design to recreate the links with their communities of origin, activities which find in the celebration of the centennial of the city, an opportunity to consolidate those links. |
