The Provincial Difference of the Arab of Neuquén during Perón’s Return to Power

This article examines the efforts of Elías and Felipe Sapag to mobilise support among the local electorate of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, in the context of Perón’s return to power in Argentina in 1973. Their efforts illustrate how ethnic minorities used their identity as provincial inhabitants to cope with the context of socio-political crisis and uncertainty. From this perspective, this article introduces discussion on provincial differences into the study of ethnic minorities’ political experiences, including how the local political participation of ethnic minorities affected processes of identification in Argentina
