Populism and Ethnicity

"Raanan Rein's book (translated from the 2015 Spanish version, Los muchachos peronistas judíos: Los argentinos judíos y el apoyo al Justicialismo) is a comprehensive history lesson, not only of one of the most massive and defining political movements in Argentina, namely Peronism, but also of the migration, arrival, settlement, and melting of the Jewish community into the fabric of the country."

Juan Perón's decade-long regime, from 1946 to 1955, is often presented as Nazi-fascist and antisemitic – claims that are strongly rooted in Argentina's collective unconscious and popular culture. Challenging this widely held view, Raanan Rein asserts that there was greater Jewish support for Perón than previously believed, and that fewer antisemitic incidents took place in Argentina during Perón's rule than during any other period in the twentieth century.

"A comprehensive history lesson, not only of one of the most massive and defining political movements in Argentina, namely Peronism, ... Populism and Ethnicity, debunks the long-held belief that President Juan Domingo Perón and his wife, Eva Duarte de Perón, promoted antisemitism in Argentina. Instead, through reports, stories, and documents in different fields including journalism, television, and politics, among others, Rein demonstrates Perón's support of the Jewish community in Argentina and how that support facilitated this community's inclusion in mainstream society."

“Raanan Rein’s excellent book combines his deep knowledge of Peronism along with his expertise in both the history of Jews in Argentina and Argentine foreign policy, particularly with Israel. This book is an outstanding contribution to the Peronist historiography and the literature on Jews in Argentina. Wide in scope, with an enormous attention to detail and nuance throughout, few historians beyond Rein would be able to produce a work of this importance and quality.” AJS Review
