Argentina’s Anticommunism: Cold Warriors on a Global Stage (1959-1973)
with Ernesto Bohoslavsky
Thursday, October 8, 2015 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM EDT
Merten Hall, 1204
Ernesto Bohoslavsky is Associate Professor in Latin American Contemporary History at Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento. He specializes in Right-Wing ideologies, parties and intellectuals in Argentina, Brazil and Chile in the 20th century, using a comparative and transnational approach.
Dr. Bohoslavsky will discuss his research on critical Right-Wing mobilizations in Argentina during the “long” decade of the sixties (1955-1973). The Tacuara Nationalist Movement, and later the Argentine Anti-Communist Federation, established important, transnational linkages with Latin American and global Anti-Communist entities, which permitted them to cooperate across borders in an era of brutal Cold War dictatorship.
