Sabato, Hilda & Juan Carlos Korol, Cómo fue la Inmigración
Irlandesa en Argentina (Buenos Aires: Editorial Plus
Ultra, 1981). It is the most important scholarly essay
on the Irish emigration to Argentina written in Spanish.
Using unique sources and documents, and from the perspective
of economic history, the authors establish a pattern of
the Irish immigration, including fine analysis of its social
and economic life. The controversial number of immigrants
provided by Sabato & Korol ('between 10,500 and 11,500
settlers' during the nineteenth century) was disputed by
authors with questionable Spanish reading skills. Perhaps
this number is too low because it was taken from Coghlan's
records of settled immigrants (i.e., those who were included
in the censuses 1869 and 1895), excluding re-emigrants to
the US, Australia, and Ireland. However, Sábato & Korol
present solid arguments and calculations to support their
estimate (Appendix I). Anyway, the importance of the number
of immigrants seems to be more political than anything else:
some of the Irish-Argentine leaders thought that a larger
number of immigrants would be a valid argument to attract
the attention of both Argentine and Irish authorities. In
1977, a preliminary version of this study was presented
by Hilda Sábato, to the Latin American History Seminar,
organised by Prof. John Lynch at the Institute of Latin
American Studies of the University of London. The
introduction and chapter 5 have been translated into English.

The Buenos Aires Standard, published weekly, later
daily, from 1861 to 1959, and founded by brothers Michael George Mulhall (1836-1900)
and Edward Thomas Mulhall (1832-1899).
It was aimed at the 'English, Irish, Scottish an American
[who] acknowledge one mother tongue,' a 'fellowship between
the various members of our Anglo-Celtic race' (1 May 1861
first editorial, cited by Marshall, Oliver, The English-Language
Press in Latin America, Institute of Latin American
Studies, University of London, 1996). According to O. Marshall,
in 1869, 'the paper claimed a circulation of 3,000 (by comparison,
Tribuna, the largest in Buenos Aires at the time, had a
circulation of 5,000), [and] it covered Argentine economic,
political, cultural and social affairs - concentrating when
possible, on British community connections, as well as foreign
news coverage.' One of its important contributions was the
daily lists of arrivals, later used by
Coghlan to bring together his tables
of Irish immigrants (1863-1880). During 98 years, The
Standard was one of the primary sources of information
for the English speakers in the area. However, it was not
'the first English language paper' in Argentina or even
in South America, as it is widely claimed (cf. Patrick Nally,
Brian MacGinn, Guillermo MacLoughlin, or Thomas F. Meehan).
For instance, in 1826, Thomas Love George introduced The
British Packet and Argentine News, which was published
until September, 1859. In Argentina, the complete collection
of The Standard in 330 volumes (1861-1959) is held
by the Max von Buch Library at the Universidad de San Andrés.
In England, The Standard's issues from 1870 to 1952
can be consulted on microfilm in The British Library, Newspapers
Division. |

● Vale, Brian, A War Betwixt
Englishmen: Brazil Against Argentina On The River Plate,
1825-1830 (London: Tauris, 1999). There is a translation
into Spanish by Instituto de Publicaciones Navales (Buenos
Aires, 2005). The book chronicles the fight over control of
the River Plate between the two countries, in a war that was
the origin of Uruguay as an independent country. The author,
who served as British Council representative in Latin America,
conducted extensive research in British, Argentine and
Brazilian archives. New perspectives on the Argentine navy's
commander, William Brown, who according to the author achieved
vast fame in this war but his exploits were counterbalanced by
his weaknesses, especially his tendency to run unnecessary
risks and his habit of constantly finding flaws in his staff.
Many other Irish, British and Scottish fought in both sides of
the war. A passage mentions Col. Cotter's recruitment efforts
in Cork to fight for Brazil. |
