Nacionalidad e inmigración en el pensamiento de Estanislao Zeballos (1883-1912)

Abstract

Estanislao Zeballos (1854-1923), was a prominent Argentine journalist, lawyer and politician. He published a series of books and articles about many relevant subjects: the Araucanian indian, the agricultural colonies in the province of Santa Fe, the ius sanguinis-ius solis question, and the impact of European immigration in Argentina. Together with many other contemporary public men of his country, Zeballos believed in the possibility of constituting a new nation upon immigrants. However, he was also concerned about the problems related to a multicultural society and helped rebuilding a sense of national identity.
