Abstract

ZANG, Laura Mabel. Redes sociales y trabajo agrario: un estudio a partir de la inmigración de suizos a Misiones-Argentina (1920-1939). Rev. Univ. geogr. [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, pp.51-73. ISSN 1852-4265.

The critical economic and social situation in Switzerland during the first half of the 20th century was undoubtedly the most important factor that promoted the migration of thousands of Swiss citizens to different oversea destinations. However, the contacts and personal relationships of immigrants were a key point in the insertion mechanisms deployed in a totally new scenario. This article analyzes the formation of migratory and social networks among Swiss immigrants. Within the complexity implied by a micro-analytical approach, the following questions should be posed, how was the process of development of migratory and social networks among the Swiss?, how did they influence the insertion of the immigrant into a totally new space? , and to what extent did social networks influence the success or failure in apprehending the agricultural tasks that many of them were not used to? Finally, taking into account that a large group of immigrants settled in German colonies, it would be worth considering whether the networks in this context were necessarily ethnic.

Keywords : Social Networks; Agricultural Work; Immigration; Misiones.
