Argentine and Egyptian History Entangled: From Peron to Nasser

摘要

This article presents an entangled history of Argentina and Egypt in the years surrounding the 1952. Egyptian Revolution. It combines diplomatic, migration and anti-imperial activism histories to delineate the intellectual and institutional links between these nations from the late 1940s to the 1950s - from the rise of Peronism through to Nasser's management of the Suez Canal crisis of 1956. Diverse Argentine social and political sectors saw parallels between the anti-imperial struggles in the Arab world and in Latin America. Though with differing and sometimes competing agendas, these groups learned and deployed the language of nonalignment and South-South solidarity in the escalating Cold War.
