Paperback. Condition: New. Revealing the lives of migrant couples and transnational households, this book explores the dark side of the history of migration in Argentina during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Using court records, censuses, personal correspondence and a series of case studies, María Bjerg offers a portrayal of the emotional dynamics of transnational marital bonds and intimate relationships stretched across continents. Using microhistories and case studies, this book shows how migration affected marital bonds with loneliness, betrayal, fear and frustration. Focusing primarily on the emotional lives of Italian and Spanish migrants, this book explores bigamy, infidelity, adultery, domestic violence and murder within official and unofficial unions. It reveals the complexities of obligation, financial hardship, sacrifice and distance that came with migration, and explores how shame, jealousy, vengeance and disobedience led to the breaking of marital ties. Against a backdrop of changing cultural contexts Bjerg examines the emotional languages and practices used by adulterous women against their offended husbands, to justify domestic violence and as a defence against homicide. Demonstrating how migration was a powerful catalyst of change in emotional lives and in evolving social standards, Emotions and Migration in Early Twentieth-century Argentina reveals intimate and disordered lives at a time when female obedience and male honour were not only paramount, but exacerbated by distance and displacement.…

Desde fines del siglo XIX, dio forma a la identidad de una nación, y alentó uno de los rasgos más sólidos de nuestra sociedad: la de ser el receptáculo de poblaciones en viaje entre diferentes mundos, viajes que, la mayoría de las veces, se volvieron permanencias. Hoy, tras décadas de estudios, tenemos una idea acabada del proceso inmigratorio. Sabemos en qué momento fue más intenso, desde que qué lugares llegaron estos nuevos habitantes y por qué debieron cruzar el Atlántico. Sabemos también cómo se adaptaron, cómo nos enriquecieron con sus culturas y cómo sufrieron la lejanía de su tierra natal. Pero por curioso que parezca, todo este conocimiento se ha formado siempre en torno a los adultos. A quienes llegaron para rehacer su vida lejos de su lugar de origen, buscando la segunda oportunidad. En un cono de sombras han quedado los niños, miles de niños, que arribaron a Buenos Aires casi sin saber qué les aguardaba. Dejando atrás recuerdos precoces e intensos, sabores, un paisaje familiar que a menudo hará las veces de paraíso perdido.Este libro cuenta la historia de un puñado de personajes, y sin embargo sus relatos se proyectan más allá de la singularidad de sus vidas. Se trata de hombres y mujeres que en la niñez y en la adolescenciatemprana vivieron en diferentes regiones de Europa en los tiempos de la Guerra Civil española, la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la posguerra y el franquismo. Y, en la mayoría de los casos, llegaron a la Argentina en los años finales de la década de 1940.Con la pericia de historiadora, con la sensibilidad y el talento de una escritora, María Bjerg escribió un libro que es una pintura de la infancia en tránsito. A partir de diversas historias de vida, El viaje de los niños se convierte en un retrato conmovedor de la inmigración. Nos permite entender la manera en que la memoria marca la existencia, nos recuerda que el pasado nunca pasa pero cambia a medida que lo revivimos, nos deja ver de cerca ese proceso de adaptación, a menudo inacabado, que es vivir en tierras lejanas y a la vez propias.…
