Repression and militancy on the border: cross-border worker networks between Paraguay and northeastern Argentina (1929-1935)

During the last years of the 1920s and the first half of the following decade, Paraguay and the NEA region - which had historical, cultural, demographic and economic ties dating back to the previous century - were the scene of the development of an important network of militancy that transcended the national borders between Paraguay and Argentina, which had a notable impact on the history of the labor movement and the left in the region. The objective of this work is to reconstruct some of these militant trajectories, as a first approach to that complex process in which Argentine and Paraguayan anarchist and communist workers constituted a wide network of contacts and transnational links and participated in an important series of conflicts at one time. and another side of the border, thus making national boundaries blurry and diffuse.
