La ley argentina de inmigración de 1876 y su contexto histórico

Abstract

The article analyzes the main characteristics of the Argentine immigration
and colonization law of 1876 and the discussions that took place
during its treatment in the National Congress. The relations between
this law and Argentina’s policies during the second half of the nineteenth
century on immigration are explained, as well as the gradual untying
of the latter with respect to colonization policies. In the last part, an
overall assessment of these policies is made, comparing them with those
of some neighboring countries at the time.
