Macnie, J., Work and Play in the Argentine (London:
T. Werner Laurie, 1925). In 1899 Dublin-born Captain J. Macnie
decided to try his fortune in Argentina. He worked in estancias
in Entre Ríos and Santa Fe, and learned to drive cattle and
other ranch jobs. But what really fascinated him was hunting,
horse racing, foot-ball and polo playing. 'If the reader has
had a quarter as much pleasure in reading about the Argentine
as I have had in writing about it, then I need feel no qualms
of conscience' (p. 183). Accounts of pioneering horse racing
and polo in Venado Tuerto. A translation into Spanish by José
Bernardo Wallace has been launched in Venado Tuerto. |

McCartan, Michael (attributed to). La
actualidad o la solución de las cuestiones de Roma, del
Oriente y del Poniente, demostrada, en las profecías divinas,
por un presbítero cristiano (Buenos Aires:
Imprenta Alemana, undated). Fr. McCartan (1798-1876) of
Belfast had a disagreement with the bishop of Dromara, Co.
Down, and was banished to Nova Scotia. He travelled to
England, North America, the West Indies and Chile, and arrived
in Argentina in 1836. He was appointed parish priest in
Gualeguaychú, Entre Ríos province, from where he was
banished for extreme political opinions. After that he
celebrated at San Roque chapel of Buenos Aires. The book
includes a series of apocalyptic essays written between 1866
and 1871 (thanks to Dr. Roberto Di Stefano for this
reference). A copy is available at Museo Mitre of Buenos
Aires. |

contribution to Argentina's development: 'They [Irish
immigrants in Argentina] shaped Argentina's agricultural
future, [...] they shaped Argentina's political and social
development, and the Irish Argentine community grew to become
among the largest landowners in the country' (RTÉ Television

McKenna, Patrick, Nineteenth Century Irish Emigration
to, and Settlement in, Argentina (St. Patrick's College,
Maynooth, Co. Kildare: MA Geography Thesis, 1994). Together
with Sabato & Korol's essay, this is one of the most important
research studies on this field, including the chain migration
led by Father Anthony Fahy and Thomas Armstrong, geographic
and demographic profiles of the sending areas and the emigrants,
and several details of their social and economic life. Since
the cited sources are written primarily in English, the
thesis lacks some of the insights of the Spanish-speaking
bourgeoisie of the River Plate, and its role in the immigration
process. Argentina's nineteenth-century social and political
leaders were particularly Anglophile, and they were eager
to gain public and social recognition among members of the
British Empire. Additionally, contrary to the dominant beliefs
of the leading classes in the English-speaking territories,
they did not have any major negative ideas about the Irish
(who, according to the Argentines, were ingleses católicos).
We should add to this fine research that, particularly in
1825-1852, the local pro-British bourgeoisie was fundamental
to the well-being of the Irish newcomers, and that this
was one of the basic reasons why the ingleses católicos
were 'the most successful Irish immigrant community anywhere
in the world within their own lifetimes' (McKenna, 1997).
Though Spanish misspelling creates some reference confusion,
this is the most well-rounded research work written in English
about the Irish in Argentina. The thesis is now available
online at NUI Maynooth Eprint Archive [website]. |

Meek, Bill, Neath the Southern Cross (RTÉ radio documentary,
Dublin, 1987). A series of eight radio programmes aired between
September and November 1987, focusing on different aspects
of the Irish in Argentina. These programmes are a unique testimony
of oral history about the Irish Argentines, with a remarkable
quality of historical, linguistic and social information.
‘My grandfather came with a potato in his pocket. A potato
in his pocket, right? That was all he had. That’s all he had.
And he planted that potato and we made a big farm then, after
that.’ Testimonials of the Irish Argentines, who speak with
Westmeath and Wexford brogues, intermingling with Spanish
vocabulary. Among others, the following persons were interviewed:
genealogist Eduardo Coghlan, The Southern Cross editor
Fr. Fidelis Rush, Juan Clancy, farmer Edmundo Moore, Bertie
Flanigan, Fr. Federico Richards, historians Hilda Sabato and
Juan Carlos Korol, 99-year old Mrs. Clancy from S. A. de Areco,

● Michael Ham Memorial College. In 1923, members of the
English-speaking community asked a group of Passionist Sisters
to open a bilingual Catholic girls school in Buenos Aires.
Michael Ham and his wife Ana María Lynch, both members of
affluent Irish-Argentine families, assisted the nuns in their
mission and afterwards donated their impressive private
residence in the outskirts of Buenos Aires to the newly
founded school. The school has educated several female
generations of the Argentinean bourgeoisie. [http://www.michaelham.esc.edu.ar/] |

Mirodan, Séamus, State Urged to Seek Justice for Irish
in Argentina, in: 'The Irish Times', 12 March 2003. Several
Irish surnames may be found among desaparecidos of
the Argentine military regime 1976-1983. The author asks why
the Irish government is not following other members of the
European Union, as Spain or Italy, whose judges requested
the extradition for crimes committed against Spanish and Italian
citizens or their descendants in Argentina. Among the victims
were the celebrated writer Rodolfo Walsh and 5 members of
the Pallotine order slaughtered in their own church. There
were many other victims with Irish names that the author does
not mention, both among civil and military forces.
