CONTENTE, Claudia. The Two Sides of the Coin: The Impact of European Migration in the Buenos Aires Countryside, San Vicente and Almirante Brown (1869-1895). Mundo agrar. [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.38, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

We analyze the population and the production activities of the jurisdictions of San Vicente (Buenos Aires Province) and Almirante Brown, the latter created in 1873 partially at the expense of San Vicente, in 1895‎. We carry out this analysis using the original census records of the First and the Second Argentine National Census (1869 and 1895). We will explore the evolution of the population between both dates in general terms and in terms of the different communities, as well as in terms of the activities of their members, paying particular attention to the agricultural activities. We will see some of the changes that the area underwent during that period and the impact of the migration that, apart from the already well known and undeniable benefits, had contrasting repercussions on some sectors of the local population

Palabras clave : Rural History; Countryside of Buenos Aires; Census; Migrations; Nineteenth century.
