PARRICIDE ON THE PAMPA? : A NEW STUDY AND TRANSLATION OF ALBERTOS GERCHUNOFFS «LOS GAUCHOS JUDÍOS» (AIZENBERG EDNA)
Parricide on the Pampa? presents a radical rereading of Alberto Gerchunoffs classic immigrant saga, Los gauchos judíos (1910; The Jewish Gauchos). This collection of stories about the early twentieth-century agricultural colonies founded by persecuted Eastern European Jews on the pampa has been both praised and damned praised as Argentine Jewrys citizenship papers and damned as a sellout to Argentine xenophobia.
