"Semillas en tierras estériles": La recepción del APRA en la Argentina de mediados de la década de los treinta

Abstract

Even though the origins of the Popular Revolutionary American Alliance [APRA] are related to the continental impact of University Reform movement, in the 1920's the APRA's presence in Argentina had echoes beyond these precedents. During the thirties, militants interested in anti-imperialist ideas tried to adapt aprism to the argentine context. Through the analysis of Claridad magazine articles written by Alberto Faleroni, the main reference point of "Argentinean aprism", and the reconstruction of the Partido Aprista Argentino [PAA] experience, we try to explore the possibilities and difficulties of the attempts to build an APRA-inspired project. This analysis allows us to investigate the itineraries of certain ideas linked to anti-imperialism, nationalism and continental perspective, which circulated in political and intellectual networks close to socialism
