Literary Festival--The Invention of the Jewish Gaucho
|
|
By the mid-twentieth century, Eastern European Jews had become one of Argentina’s largest minorities. Some represented a wave of immigration begun two generations before. Many of them settled in the province of Entre Ríos and founded an agricultural colony. The book examines the lives of these settlers, who represented a merger between native cowboy identities and homeland memories. Join us at the Embassy of Argentina as we help celebrate Argentina’s bicentennial.
The Helen and Milton Covensky Fund helps the 16th Street J present a number of unique cultural programs throughout the year. Co-hosted by the Embassy of Argentina. This program is co-sponsored by the Embassy of Argentina and the Foundation for Jewish Studies.
